July 2018:
July Program
Fiber Fun in the Sun
Join us in July to learn how to add color to your
fiber projects without having to stand over a
steaming cauldron using two summer-friendly
dyeing techniques. Our own Kimberly Loder
will lead us through an ice dyeing demo. Learn
her tips and tricks for fabulous color effects. We
will also introduce solar dyeing. Use the energy
of the sun to add color to protein fibers. Bring
some protein fibers (wool, silk, alpaca, mohair,
etc.) if you would like to go home with your
own mason jar of solar dying fun.
August Program
Beat the summer heat and join us for an Introduction
to Acadian Brown Cotton. Mary Jane &
Joanie will lead us through a DVD and hands on
experience with naturally colored cotton fibers.
