Maximum participants: 6

Cost: $50 members, $55 Affiliate group members, $60 others. 

Plus: $30 for a kit of materials, which includes 800g of English Leicester locks and enough dyes to colour the fleece as you wish (pay on booking).
It is important that everyone uses the same fibre, so DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FIBRE!

You will need to wear: old clothes and closed shoes.
Please bring: apron, rubber gloves, large zip lock bags or other large plastic bags to put wet fleece in and a bucket or plastic tub to carry the plastic bags home in. (You will take partially dyed fleece home to complete the process, using the warmth of the sun - solar dyeing.)

Workshop description: We have all seen and admired Mary's beautiful hand dyed fibre batts and rolags in the Gallery. Mary has dyed a "flock-full" of wool using Earth Palette Dyes. This is your chance to learn from her experience and expertise. You will learn how to use these dyes on UNWASHED fleece in a relaxed setting. It is important that everyone uses the same fibres, so please do not bring your own.
