Fabric workshop with Lynne Brotman

Last Saturday I went to a workshop on fabric dyeing by Lynne Brotman. It was a really fun and informative introduction to textile arts, and I am looking forward to trying out many of these techniques at home. Here's some photos I took from the workshop.

Here's what it looks like with the wax removed

Into the fuchsia dye!
