Dye Workshops

The process of dyeing using natural materials is fascinating in its complexity and unexpectedness. 

See the Gallery for projects completed using yarns dyed with natural materials, such as cochineal, indigo, walnuts, local plants, onion skins, weld, etc.

I teach dyeing with Debbie MacCrea; between us we have some 50 years’ experience with the dye process, knitting, weaving, spinning and other fiber arts.

Our schedule varies, but we can now offer one, two or three day workshops at my studio in Alfred.
