Class Description

Description

In this 12 hour class, students will learn the basics of dyeing fabric using natural materials, including natural dye sources, how to extract colors, what mordants are, and how to use them to fix color.

Our classes are designed to focus on a learned skill rather than a final product. At TAC, our mission is to provide skills and knowledge for a lifetime! All materials for sample making and learning the technique are included. Any additional materials will need to be supplied by the student based on their vision.

4 Week class students have access to Open Studio time for free for up to a week after the class, to put their new knowledge to practice.

  • Natural Dyeing 101 (4 Week)

    Excellent class with a knowledgeable teacher. Thoroughly reviewed natural dyeing techniques and spent hours doing various types of hand dyeing. At the end of the class we each had a book of documented samples and several yards of cloth. Wonderful!!

    The instructor was wonderful - very passionate and knowledgeable about dyes, encouraging and accommodating! I would absolutely learn from her again. The class size was good, and the Textile Center was easy to find. The reason I gave fewer stars is that I don't think it was worth the expensive price for two days. We spent most of the second day doing Shibori folding, which is very interesting, but I wish we had focused more time on extracting natural pigments and dyeing samples for reference so we could learn more about making dyes on our own. This especially because it's pretty easy to find Shibori workshops, but Natural Dyeing is a lot more rare, so I was disappointed that the majority of the course wasn't spent on that exclusively. Pots and supplies weren't prepared beforehand, so a lot of the time it was a scramble to get everything we needed, and they had someone cleaning out old projects from the area and people walked through the space a lot during classtime, which was really distracting in such a small space. Overall the class gave interesting information, but I think it is overpriced. I think it would work better as a one-day dyeing intensive for half of the cost. I feel bad saying it because the instructor was so awesome, but I do regret spending so much on what ended up being a very casual setup.

    The class was awesome! The instructor, Natalie was very nice to answer all the questions and instructions were very clear. It was sad though that the garden was no longer available because it would have been awesome to be able to go out and pick flowers to dye them. But the class is still very recommended!

Question from Alex D.
Hi, I saw in one of the reviews that a majority of the 2nd day is shibori folding techniques. I was wondering if that was still the case for this particular class because, like that reviewer, I am more interested in the dyeing/extracting process than folding. Thank you! :)
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi Alex! All of the weekend intensive dye classes go over Indigo and some Shibori techniques as part of the curriculum. The majority of the content of the class is dyeing, learning how to prep fabrics and making samples of different dye vats. The weekend intensive and 4-week dye classes also come with Open Studio which can be used to pursue the techniques you are more interested in. Hope this helps!
