Join us on Tuesday, March 25th for a program on
The Color Red
by
Katherine Montgomery.
Katherine’s background includes weaving, spinning and dyeing. She has been dying fiber off and on for years mostly out of curiosity about what color her garden plants would yield. A few years ago, she moved from a farm in western Kentucky back to the Pittsburgh suburbs and left her dye pots behind, after deciding that acid dyes were easier and more reliable. But a friend asked for help in learning about natural dyeing, and before she knew it, they had both signed up for the MAIWA natural dye class online. From that class and four subsequent ones, she gained a rigorous approach to natural dyeing that made it more reliable and repeatable both for cellulose and protein fibers. Now the acid dyes only come out when she wants quick and easy results.
Katherine’s presentation will be in-person and members will also be able to join via zoom.
As always, we will be gathering at Lake FarmPark for this presentation, and you are encouraged to bring any items you have been working on to share with others.
