SDS is planned to be held once every 2 months (bimonthly) to reconnect with fellow dyers/textile enthusiasts who wish to explore dyeing and printing in a self-directed group setting. Please read the following important information about SDS and if you are eligible to participate:
SDS is not a tutored workshop but rather an informal session
SDS is only open to those who have done my textile workshops before AND anyone who are already familiar with the scouring and mordanting processes.
You will need to bring your scoured and mordanted fabrics/yarns, and optionally your own pot/stove if you’d like to have full control of your dye bath.
Mordanted fabric samples can be purchased directly from me for $25 (approx. 100g bundle, usually $30 elsewhere).
I will provide my own Eucalyptus/tannin dye bath, steamers, stove, and a couple of dyes that everyone can try.
SDS is normally held at the Fremantle Fibonacci Centre (19 Blinco St, Fremantle).
Please wear closed-in footwear, apron, and byo mask, gloves, tools you require for your project.
