Study Group led by: [all_instructors]
Join us for an Acid Dyeing Basics Study Group at the School of SweetGeorgia! In this study group, we will work through content from Felicia Lo’s course: Dyeing Intentional Colour!
Dyeing Intentional Colour and Dyeing Complex Colour are among the very first few courses Felicia designed for the School, and she keeps no secrets about the magic of acid dyeing. In the SOS forums, she has supported many new dyers on their colourful hand-dye journey, where we love seeing the gorgeous colours our members have created and shown in their posts. If you are also intrigued by the beauty of hand-dyed yarns and fibres, or simply want to learn to dye with a supportive group, join us in this four-week group study. We will start from the very basics—from setting up a dye space and mixing dye stock solutions, to finishing up our hand-dyed yarns and fibres. Let’s dye some magic together!
All of the fun chat and study group notes can be shared over in the SOS forums group. On Instagram, tag your posts with #sosdyeingstudygroup and #schoolofsweetgeorgia.
