Dyeing Fabric in Small Spaces
Do you want to dye fabric, but worry about where? Whether you are just starting or moving to a smaller place, I show some simple solutions for both low-water immersion and surface design with dye in a variety of places. The dyes bond with fibers, but they wash easily out of the sink, brushes, and tools. Mydemos and handouts will help you create your own original fabrics. It is so much fun that it’s worth figuring out how you can enjoy it in your own work space.
