Naturally Dyed Eco-Printed Sock Blank
About Naturally Dyed Eco-Printed Sock Blank
In this class, we'll create a beautifully printed sock blank with local and preserved flowers and dyes. Students will get to create their blank with natural dye matierals in a random or gradient pattern. Once the dyes have processed and the blank has dried you can stitch it up however you like. Or keep it as a beautiful showpiece! We will learn about natural dyes, flowers, and leaves that produce colors and other tidbits of dyeing and printing. This is not a comprehensive natural dye class.
The capacity for this class is 8 students.
Materials, Equipment, and Supplies the Student Must Bring to Class
