Please Note: August Meeting has been Cancelled due to our current status with Covid 19. Members can still meet at the same time and place but will need to Mask up and practice Social Distancing. Bring Lunch, drink and a project to work on weather permitting.
Meeting will be held in
the pavilion in Seager Park, 1163 Plank Rd, Naperville, IL 60563
Parfait Dying is Barrie's favorite
introduction to the wonders of dying fabric. In this workshop we will dye four
squares of fabric in one container building up colors and amazing designs. For
the designs we will be using various shibori and other resist techniques. For
the color we will be using Procion MX dye that produces vibrant and fade
resistant colors. Come see how fabric dying can add to your collage
stash.
Fabric and dye will be supplied for
a $6 materials fee.
Participants should bring:
· Plastic tablecloth for your work area. A large trash
bag cut open would work
· Folding chair & TV tray table
· Apron & gloves for dye work
· 1 gallon zip-lock bag + 4 quart zip-lock bags
· paper towels
· A tall dye container that holds at least 3 cups of
water. I use a cylinder shaped vase found at a thrift store. Tall
and narrow is better than short and fat
· Optional – rubber bands, string, marbles,
scissors, needle, strong thread (the instructor will bring some too)
September 13th In place of the retreat the Darien Police Station is reserved for a tentative meeting. Please save the date. Details of the possible meeting will be in the August MCS newsletter.
