It was very successful & both Diane & Nicky enjoyed the day- as did Sky the Dog!
I had decided to run this workshop as a test to see if it would work & to iron out any problems, as tray dyeing is a difficult one to run as a day workshop.(the fabric is best left overnight in the trays)
I mixed the dyes up before the workshop started as this takes a fair bit of time & you need to be precise with the measurements.
So when we started at 11.00 all was in order & ready to go!
I had decided that we would manipulate the fabrics & dye them before lunch, and after we would play with decolourant on some ready dyed silk scarves & plain dark fabrics.
This order worked well & I can now make this into a day workshop. Funily enough I have now been asked to do a workshop at Alston Hall, & have agreed to run this workshop on 6th May 2015.
Here are some photos from the day
