August 17 - 18, 10 AM to 5 PM at Cloth Fiber Workshop, 122 Riverside Drive, Studio D in Asheville's River Arts District - Shibori Resists with MX Dyes with Heather Hietala. The focus of this workshop is exploring pattern, color and imagery through Shibori or resist dying using Procion MX dyes.

Working with natural fibers and stitching, clamping, and pole wrapping you'll create controlled yet not, patterns of color. MX dyes are translucent and work wonderfully over dyed fabrics adding another layer of pattern and color. A wonderful rayon scarf will be provided in addition to the fabrics you bring to experiment on. Safe studio procedures using MX dyes will be covered. Level of expertise: all levels. Fee: $175 + materials fee.
