Learn the basics of dying wool and other protein-based fibers such as alpaca or silk. Focused on natural dyes, participants will learn how to forage for color with an eye on sustainability, plant their own garden, prepare a dye bath, and choose the proper mordant. Participants will dye their own sample of wool to take home. Led by Sue Erhardt, a fiber arts enthusiast and member of the Midland Fiber Arts Guild.
