About this Event
This workshop is suited for beginners.
We will provide guidance and a variety of supplies for tying fabrics. You are also welcome to bring in a piece tied ready for dyeing. A t-shirt, scarf, or a tote bag are good choices. You may dye maximum two items, or 200 grams. Types of fabric you can dye are cotton, silk, hemp, ramic, rayon, and linen.
Please bring rubber gloves and fabric you would like to dye. Or purchase a shawl - more info below. You may find it useful to bring your own good scissors too.
The size of your items cannot be too big. The dye vat is only 5 liters . Please contact the coordinator if you would like to consult in advance. [email protected]

LET'S STAY SAFE
We are able to offer this workshop with social distancing. And have shortened the workshop hours by importing a natural dye from Japan that gives you quick results.

Description from the Maiwa website
"This buttery cotton mull has a beautiful hand and is a pleasure to dye. At Maiwa, we love these shawls for all our organic indigo and natural dyes. The generous size means you have a substantial shawl, scarf, wrap or sarong. It has a clean finish with a rolled hem."
