About this event

Most natural dyes require preparing the fabric with mordants to get the dyes to bond with the fabric. Skip those steps by using the few natural dyes out there that really and truly work without a mordant! Colors we can achieve include lovely blues, rich browns, rusty oranges and smokey grays. Use shibori and adire folding and binding techniques to created lush fabrics with layers of colors and patterns. Dye your own 100% cotton or linen fabrics. Bandanas from Dharma Trading are a good choice, or dye pieces to use in later quilting projects. Wash according to the instructions in the materials list.
