Dyeing (with shibori) : April 12, 13 and 14

On 5 already multiple mordanted fabrics we dye light- and wash fast with extracts from madder, weld, genista, cochineal, Indigo(woad), walnut and others.. Mordants are aluminium salts and gallnuts for cellulose fibre. Some dyes can be used without mordant on wool.

On cotton, linen, hemp, silk and wool that are premordanted, some with alternative methods, we are going to dye. With extracts of madder, cochineal, indigo, genista, reseda, walnut  cutch (and campeche wood). Learning from an expert craft dyer. With some industrial experience as well. 

We will also make some combinations of these dyes. Thereby creating a small archive. For those who want to there is room in the dye pots for some shibori experiments using f.i. plastic and cord. 

We will have the time to learn and be given handouts about the best way of mordanting : preparing your fabrics before dyeing. Both for the best lightfastness results and for practical fast dyeing. You also receive the recipe for good madder and indigo dyeing. The indigo method uses ammonia and hydrosulfite. It is very practical and the ammonia is already evaporated when you dye with it. We will have strong and lighter vat. And a woad vat. You can bring extra fabric for these indigo vats. 

On sample cards we will learn about several other dyes.

The workshop will take place in Amsterdam at Tinctoria, max 7, minimum 4 participants.

From 10 to 17 hours. Price includes lunch and beverages and materials. Supplier's will be disclosed.
