Description
Get down and dirty with this immersion dyeing class, a bit looser in approach than creating reproduceable colors. Students will learn the basics of how to safely color fabric using a dye bath and fiber reactive dyes, specifically procion mx dyes. It is a good introduction to dye safety and the process of immersion dyeing with no mathematical equations to create a reproduceable color. Color is free and loose and open to interpretation. Regardless of your project, this class is a foundational class and a good introduction to the world of dyeing.
