A fun introduction to dyeing wool and other protein fibres with plants, which requires very little special equipment and is gentle on the fibres, pigment and planet. No previous experience needed. In the solar dyeing workshop the learners will learn how to dye wool using sunlight. "We will go out and pick the plants as part of the workshop, so bring a suitable jacket in case it is raining!" Learners will take their solar jars home to watch the colours develop.
When: Sunday, June 9th, 9 - 12 AMTeacher: Deborah Gray. What to bring: Bring 2 x large glass jars ( 1.5 – 2 litres) with good lids, and 2 x 50g skeins of white or cream 100% wool yarn, or silk yarn or fabric. We will gather our dye plants around the area.
