Natural Dyeing Weekend
Adult | Available
This is a two part introductory class for students to gain some experience in natural dyeing.
In the first class we will prepare two mordants, experiment with pH levels in our dye baths, learn a few dyeing techniques with manipulating fabric and set them aside to dye overnight.
In the second class, students will rinse their dyed fabrics and prepare sample pieces for shorter duration dyes for the remainder of the class. Students will be able to make multiple pieces in both classes.
No experience necessary, ages 14 and up.
There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
Members will have the $4 deducted from tuition.
A materials fee of $24.00 is included in the tuition.
*** Please note there are several steps to walk down to the Fiber Studio ***
Please note that classes at Brookfield Craft Center must meet a minimum number of 2 registrations for the class to run. Students will be notified within a week's notice whether their class will be held. If the class is canceled due to low enrollment, students may request to be transferred to another class or be refunded in full.
