Workshops make great gifts!
For all of you last minute
Christmas shoppers like me, I just scheduled three dye workshops for the spring
at my studio in Kansas City. These workshops would make a great gift for the
quilter/maker in your life. I am happy to email you a special gift certificate
that you can print to give the lucky recipient. Or, give yourself a gift!
Here are my spring
offerings so far:
Saturday March 1
9am - 1pm
$75 + $25 supply fee
This half-day workshop for beginners is
perfect for quilters or anyone else who has always wanted to learn how to dye
their own fabric. It will include three different methods for dyeing cotton or
silk fabric, including custom dye gradations. Each participant will learn how
to safely dye fabric and create 2 yards of their own hand dyed fabric.
Saturday, February 22
9am - 1pm
$75 + $25 supply fee
This workshop is an
introduction to Shibori - the Japanese method of creating patterns on fabric
through resist dyeing. This technique is where common Tie Dye came from. Learn
three different techniques for creating beautiful patterns on cotton or silk.
Each participant will make multiple pieces of beautifully hand dyed fabric.
Some experience with dyeing fabric or yarn is helpful, but not required.
Saturday, February 8
10am – 4pm
Cost = $150 (includes dye and
auxiliaries, fabric is extra and can be purchased from me or you may bring in
your own white PFD fabric)
In this day-long fabric dyeing
intensive you will learn how to dye all of the fabric needed to make a quilt
top of your choosing. We will cover: calculating fabric needs for a quilt,
dyeing fabric to match your designs, and scaling dye recipes. There is homework
for this workshop. Each participant will come to the workshop with a quilt
pattern chosen ahead of time and a finalized color scheme with no more than 6 or 7 colors. Adjustments to color choices can be made in the
workshop, but its best if you have a clear idea of what you want your quilt to
look like coming into the workshop.
Depending on how many colors are in
your design, you may or may not have time to dye all of your fabric. You will,
however, have dye samples and scaled recipes to dye the fabric on your own or
during open studio time.
The beginning fabric dyeing workshop,
or previous dye experience, is a pre-requisite for this workshop. The workshop
is limited to 4 participants.
They are listed in my etsy
shop here: kimem.etsy.com.
