We will cover mordanting your fibers, a brief history of natural dyes and how you can simply bring this technique home. We will also explore how by using household items you can shift the colors of your dye by modifying pH.
The class is 3.5 hours long with light snacks provided. You will receive Ahimsa silk swatches for samples, an ahimsa unhemmed scarf, 16 x 16 " and a swatch folder. All other materials will be provided. We cannot accommodate personal garments, but there will be pre - mordanted tee shirts available for purchase.
