Fibre Reactive Dyes are so much fun to play with, and when I recently shared a 'Play Days Retreat' with a few friends here at Odessa, the students said "DO LET ME KNOW" when another day that is devoted to dye play is available and I would love to come out!
Well, the date is set in my calendar and I invite you to join me and bring several friends who LOVE colour on cloth!

A fun filled day for fibre lovers...
Welcome to Quilters and Fibre Arts Enthusiasts
YOU are invited to join me and spend a full day dyeing cotton, linen, rayon, silk or other cellulose fabrics of your choice.
and YES,
For our friends who are Weavers!
YOU can prepare and bring your pre-skeined cotton, linen
or silk yarns
for dye painting or immersion dyeing,
and/or several pre-wound warps for dye-painting.
I will have 15 glorious colours of Procion Fibre Reactive Dyes all prepared and ready for your use and sharing all through the day
SUPPLIES LIST - please plan to bring
The Odessa Hall FLOORS WILL BE TARPED
* Pre-washed fabrics and/or yarns that are ready for dyeing
*FLAT DYEING Projects require thin, roll plastic for laying between the layers of fabrics that you can dye in this one day (8 - 10 half metres by the width of fabric are normal in the day!)
* You will need to bring plastic table cover and old towels to catch drips UNDER your table
*Paint brushes if dyeing warps ( I use foam brushes)
*Gloves and wipe up towels or paper towels
*A container or bin (something to take the wet fabrics home in)
* Beer Cups or small containers to hold your dyes
* For flat dyeing, a slanted paint brush (dollar store) is great for working out the air bubbles between layers of plastic and your fabrics as you build one layer after another or painted fabrics
* NOTES:
** You can dye so much more than fabrics and yarns - paper, a shirt or blouse, dye paint a jacket or dye paint some tea towels or other home décor items at your table (no immersion dyeing this time)
** Bring a few poles that have been string wrapped for shibori or fold some fabrics and prepare them for clamped paint work with dyes from small flat containers at your table.
** You will need a bucket or other container for transporting wet fabrics home in, as they will all require batching for 24-48 hours after the workshop day before rinsing and wash out!
** Wear old clothes and bring your LUNCH. Coffee, tea and water provided and a few treats for the sweets/chocolate lovers!
