Using Acid Dyes, this class will focus on techniques used to
produce color safely on fibers and rovings without felting or damage
to the fiber. We will explore what happens when the base fiber is
not white, low water immersion dying, microwave dying, and crockpot
dyeing. Dyes will be in dry form and in pre-mixed liquid form for
this class. Students will receive a variety of fibers and rovings
and are encouraged to bring items from their own stash.
