Two workshops on Procion dyeing. The first with ice the second in plastic bags.
Members have been experimenting with natural fabrics in particular cotton and silk and creating very serendipity designs which we are going to use later in the year. Details are hush hush so far.

silk scarves dyed in plastic bags
cotton shirt buttons dyed in plastic bags
The ice dyeing gave us some superb serendipity results that were almost floral in pattern. the group also learnt how to achieve more of a block colour effect by adding the soda ash later rather than presoaking fabric before dyeing.
Next is Natural dyeing with natural dyes!!!!!!!!!!!!
