Registration is required for this workshop. This must be a limited class, with a max of 12 people. We will be working with hot liquids and mild chemicals, so any personal protective equipment (PPE) you have would be a bonus. If you wish to dye a small personal item, please bring it, animal fibers will dye the best (wool or silk). A $20 class fee will cover fiber, dye materials, rubber gloves, chemicals, and a fun sticker. Some PPE will be provided, and some will be available to use for the workshop.
