Last summer, I taught a week-long dyeing and design workshop at a local art college.
And we did stuff like this:
Which led to some really amazing and individualized experiments in colour:
This summer, we’ll be running the class at our home studio. More space. Access to all the equipment we need. Individualized instruction, focused on dyeing techniques for yarn and fabric. Chipmunk minions to harass us for sunflower seeds help us hang things to dry…
But most of all? More freedom to experiment and play with yarn and fabric and colour. To try all the ideas that come into your brain, with a safety net.
Want to join us?
