 Got Stamps??? 
dyes

Students will :

·         Create one stamp to take home with them to use,

·         Have the opportunity to create up to 4 "fat eighths" (9x22") samples using already made stamps

Dyes will be pre-mixed, but a brief over-view of how to use and make thickened dye will be discussed.

 

Fabric pigments and paints can change the texture and feel of cloth, but it is thought of as an easy way to create pattern.  By using thickened dye, one can paint, roller, or even stamp pattern into the cloth.  In this Sampler, we'll be focusing on the process of making a balsa wood stamp, a stamp pad, and applying fiber reactive procion MX dye to cloth.

Colorful Scarf

 
We'll learn a little color theory which will help us decide on what colors to put together in this origininal scarf pattern. 
 
We'll learn a basic tunisian crochet stitch with a little twist on basic and ....we'll end up well on our way to a lovely scarf and skills to apply over and over again.
 
Join us for our last Saturday Sampler before the holidays.*   
 
 *Saturday Samplers resume again Janurary 8th.  Stay tuned for lots of ways to pass those cold, dreary winter nights ahead of us.
