The most important and essential step when dyeing with nature is mordanting.
Four types of mordanting techniques will be shown for protein and cellulose fibers, including Alum, Aluminum Acetate and "dunging," Tannins, and even Soy Milk.
Bring 3 pieces of cellulose fiber and 1 piece of protein fiber to class to prepare. Sample material can be provided if you do not wish to bring your own.
No dyeing will be done in the class. All of your fabrics will be taken home with you so you can begin your dye journey at home. Each student will be given some dyes to go home with after shown how to prepare your dye baths.
