By the end you will have 16 hues of color you can create, along with learning a few pattern resist techniques.

We will learn to prep fabrics, scour and pre-dying baths, organizing a dye journal, prepare dye vats, and of course the dying process. We also will cover a few resist dye patterns and discuss after baths and exhausts.   all materials will be provided for you.
