"Color
Mixing for Dyers I" with Carol Soderlund
September 17-21, 2008, at Glacier Camp in beautiful Lakeside, Montana.
Dye the color you choose, not the color that chooses you! Explore the
unlimited number of hues possible by mixing only pure reds, yellows, and
blues of Procion MX dye. Each student will build a sample book of more
than 1,000 dye formulas on 100% cotton fabric. This book will become an
invaluable reference for future dyeing. Carol Soderlund, award winning
quilt artist, will teach this popular class. Workshop will be hosted by
Kathy Regier, weaver, of Trout Creek, MT. All the details are available
