Class Description

Description

In this intensive 12-hour class, students will gain a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of natural dyeing. The curriculum covers natural dye sources and how to identify them, techniques for extracting color from plant materials, and a complete introduction to mordants, including what they are, how they work, and how to apply them to fix natural dyes permanently to different fibers. By the end of the class, students will leave with the substantial beginnings of a well-organized swatch library documenting a range of fibers, dye sources, mordants, and modifiers. Bring any materials you are curious to experiment with!

Our classes are built around the development of a lasting skill rather than the completion of a single project. At TAC, our mission is to equip students with knowledge and techniques they can practice and build on for life. All materials for sample-making and technique demonstration are provided. Additional materials beyond the standard kit should be supplied by the student based on their individual goals.

Students enrolled in Weekend Intensive sessions receive free access to Open Studio time during the class and for up to one week after the session ends, providing additional time to put newly acquired skills into practice.
