This beginner level adult class will introduce the dye materials and techniques to make both indigo (blue) and wolf lichen (chartreuse) dye vats! We will prepare both cotton and a protein based fiber for dyeing; and experiment with binding fabrics before immersing them in dyes. Note: only protein fibers, like silk, cotton and wool will work with the lichen.
We will provide all of the dye materials and cotton napkin blanks as well as wool and silk samples for each person.
You will receive an email after you register that will include more details on what you can expect, and what items you might bring with you to try in our vats.
Each dyer will receive a reference sheet to take home, so this journey can be continued!
This class is offered on a sliding scale, from $25-$65, depending on the participant’s needs.
