              Dyeing for the Antique Sampler Look

              Imagine dyeing your own linen and stitching a sampler that looks antique as soon as it’s finished! In this class, students learn to dye linen and cotton floss to achieve an “aged” look. Students will learn a variety of techniques to produce variegated results and also tips on stitching with over dyed threads.

              1 day class for all levels.

              Exploring the Over Dyeing Process

              Another exciting dyeing class which allows students to explore a variety of dyeing techniques: painting, sponging, speckling, and working with both dry and wet linen; a free form sampler will be worked, finished with fringed four-sided stitch and mounted on a custom painted box without glue.

              2 day class for all levels. 


              A Dyeing Day Spend the entire day dyeing cotton threads, linen fabric and silk ribbon with emphasis on delicate shading and gradients, antique sampler palettes, and backgrounds. 1 day class for all levels
