This is a class for
students to learn how to dye cotton or wool warp or weft yarns
by hand painting the dye colors on the skeins. Students may also learn dyeing fleece and fiber for spinning or felting. This is where
your intuition will come forward to create color combinations
that just call to you with no rules. This is a all day workshop
and available when the weather is permits since it's an outside
activity. Wear old clothes and bring your yarns and a lunch and
we will create one of a kind dyed skeins of yarn suited for either
warps or wefts. You can bring your own yarns or purchase un dyed
yarns from me.

Clothing construction
Classes
Whether you have hand woven Saori yardage or commercial fabric, come to class to learn how to fit, measure, cut, and play at designing your own clothing in the Saori way...
You do not have to know how to
sew or own a sewing machine to create clothing. All levels from
experienced to never sewn before. Come and get support for cutting
into your hand woven cloth or your own regular fabric. Swiss
Bernina sewing machines cutting tables and notions. Individualized
help given.
Saori has unique designs and approaches to clothing. It allows
for much expression and fresh opportunity of garment design.
Pre-class consultation recommended.
Classes in
sewing regular fabrics and patterns taught as well. Create your
own clothing and accessories with no fear and helpful guidance
for your own vision. I have successfully taught and empowered
7yr olds through adults in clothing construction for many years
pairing this art with weaving is very gratifying in continuing
self expression through fiber.
Class Fees*:
$120 for 8 hours divided into sessions that you and I schedule (does not include materials)
