HDF - COLOUR & VALUE GRADATIONS

Description

Have you ever wanted to dye a whole rainbow of colour in different values from dark to very light? Here’s your chance! We’ll pick 2 dye colours and create a 5 step gradation from Colour #1 to Colour #2. Then we’ll make 6 values of each of the colours from dark to very light. Students will mix their own dye stocks and have fun creating a beautiful rainbow of colour. Imagine, these 36 FQ becoming the basis for a beautiful quilt! Students will be dyeing 36 Fat Quarters (9 yards) of fabric. Class cost $225. All fabrics, dyes and chemicals included. Some experience dyeing fabric is a must for this class. • Students will learn how to mix dye solutions safely • Students will learn how to mix chemical water safely • Students will explore different methods of creating texture using a single dye colour. • Students will explore different methods of combining 2 or more colours for some interesting colour play. Supplies: Students will be required to bring the following items to class. These are not supplied in the cost of the class. • “messy clothes” including shoes that you won’t mind getting covered with dye drips • Apron – optional but recommended • Dust Mask Gloves.
