About the event
All ages. Supervised children welcome! Â Jennifer will provide 1/2 yard cotton muslin prepared fabrics for your experiments. Â Dyepots will be ready for your exploration into color! Â We will use marigold, cochineal, weld, osage, madder and indigo to achieve (hopefully!) yellows, oranges, blues and purples. Â Fiber will be pre-scoured and mordanted for our immediate use.
Students should bring:  apron, rubber gloves, empty clean jars with lids (to take home exhaust bath dyes), pencil for notetaking and a sense of fun!  Don’t wear your favorite shoes to class either - in case the dye migrates.
This class is fantastic fun for small groups! Â There will be a 30 minute break for lunch so please bring a packed lunch.
