We will take a light hearted and fun attitude to dying and use both batching and the instant gratification of microwave dying. You will go home with a stack of beautiful fabrics. There will be adequate time for experimenting with your favorite technique.
Included techniques will be: basics of low water immersion dying, batching versus microwave dying, single and two color gradations, layered dying and manipulated fabric dying.

Dyeing to Explore
Painting and Printing on Fabric
Once you have learned to dye fabric, the next step is to be able to paint and print to develop designs and textures. Using thickened dyes, and a variety of tools, including developing some silk screens in class, we will spend a glorious four days printing and painting fabric with thickened Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. There will be time to experiment and to spread dyes to your hears content. This class is limited to 4 students to allow lots of room to move around and receive personal attention.
Dates: Tuesday, April 24 through Thursday April 26, 2012, 9-4
Cost: $450 (includes all dyes, thickners and chemicals
