With this method we will use special dyes that work well with cotton, silks, and linen. We will play with gradations of colors and create texture by pleating, twisting, and scrunching. Fabric may be immersed in a dye bath or “painted.” We will dry the fabric in the sun then use cold water to soak and rinse.

WHERE
Fredenberg Community Center & Pavilion
We will be outside if the weather permits and inside if required.
