A 3.5-hour workshop in the studio with Mafer to understand natural dyeing from beginning to end. You will go through the entire process by dyeing samples in 6 colors on silk yarn from India, and wool and cotton from Guatemala, and see how each fiber receives color in its own way.
This is a workshop for those who want to continue dyeing on their own: you leave with what you need to know and the materials to do it.
