I've only ever been given the opportunity to teach 1 day "overview" classes but this series will be the most in-depth and resource heavy class I've ever taught. Link in bio to reserve your spot!
"Explore the magic of color and master a variety of complex dyeing and fiber processing techniques with Guest Teaching Artist Nicole Frost in this 5-day intensive workshop. Learn all of the major techniques necessary to clean a fleece, paint roving, and dye silk, nylon and wool for use in spinning, felting, and other related fiber art projects. Get exclusive early access to techniques from her upcoming book (Dyeing for Spinners), which provides step-by-step insight for how to reverse engineer the dye process to get the results you want!
Begin by learning how to dye in metric with precise ratios and repeatable results. Paint roving through direct application as well as through kettle dyeing to achieve variegated colors and solid shades at different color values.
On Day Two, explore the properties of silk, the different classifications of nylon, and how to process cellulose fibers (cotton, bamboo). Learn proper wetting and dyeing techniques to use with each.
On Day Three, learn how to select a fleece and explore the history and different characteristics of popular sheep brands with a focus on dye approaches to create solid, broken, or cloudlike color. Dye superwash and non superwash fibers for a spinning characteristics comparison. Engage in a breed study to gain insight into various kinds of fleece, including Cheviot, Blue Faced Leicester, Corriedale, Falkland, Merino, Polwarth, Targhee, and Wensleydale. On Day Four, dye a 66 Color Fiber Triad on white, brown and grey fiber to create a color swatch book.
Finally, learn how to card all of these fiber elements into marl, ombre, striping, tweed, and variegated effects to create a beautiful art batt.
All levels are welcome!"
