The next meeting is on Sunday 19 May, when Sandra will be demonstrating how to use disperse dyes to paint and dye polyester. She will also bring some acid dyes for working on silk and nylon.
Please let Leah know if you will be coming so that Sandra can bring the right quantities of dyes.
If you want to have a go please bring the following -
- Polyester, silk or nylon (I can supply small pieces of polyester if you don’t have any)
- Brushes or sponges for painting on the dye
- Non metallic cook in bag suitable for the microwave plus extras to take your work home in.
- Plastic cups and spoons for mixing dyes
- Gloves / apron
These methods need a microwave to fix the dyes. Because this will limit the amount of fabric each of us can dye we will be dividing the group into two with one half dyeing whilst the other half work on their own projects.
The meeting will start at 10am at the Memorial Hall in Croft (small hall) and will have a shared lunch as normal. We will also have a show and tell of the dyed and discharged pieces from the last meeting and any projects you’re currently working on.
