Have you have ever wanted to dye with 2 colors but only had one

dye pot? Split personality? Do you have a hard time choosing

which color to use? This Taste of class is for you! Alter ego dyes

react to different colors with different fibers. They are usually used

on mixed fibers such as silk/linen, silk/hemp, silk/viscose etc. to

achieve bicolored effects.  Especially suited for Devore-burnout

fabrics.  Often the design in relief is made of viscose and the

frame is made of silk. These means that one dye pot can be

used to dye 2 different colors on the same material! How cool it

that!

Cecelia Ridge will lead us as we experiment with Alter Ego dyes.

Students will learn about the dye and how to set up a dye pot.

After some test runs students will choose their favorite. Each

participant will leave with several test strips, directions for making

a pot, knowledge of the chemistry and a beautifully dyed DeVore

silk scarf.

Cecelia is a long-time member of the Guild. We look forward to

seeing her beautiful silk painted items at our show every year!
