RSU 24 Adult Education

Winter is a time to be warm. No blues or greens. Reds! Maybe some yellow.

We will be dyeing reds in this class. Madder, cochineal, lac, and Brazil wood. I will provide all materials. If you want to bring your own natural fiber, it must be mordanted with alum.

Students should wear old clothes (or an apron) and bring:

1. Notebook, pen or pencil
2. Indelible sharpie
3. Fiber, natural, up to one pound
4. Rubber gloves - dishwashing type
5. Plastic 3-5 gal pail
6. Medium size cooking pot, around a gallon, if you want your own personal dye bath.
7. Small laundry bags to hold loose fiber if you are bringing some
8. Plastic bags for wet fiber
9. Lunch and something to drink. Lunch will be question time.

Adult Education has a refrigerator and microwave for us to use.

If you have any questions, you can email the instructor at  susanne@mainecolor.com, or, as always, feel free to call the office at 422-4794. 

Please bring a $5 supply fee payable to instructor at class.
