Life is good.

“THE WOOLY MASON JAR” DYE WORKSHOP 
With Lucy Richard
SATURDAY MARCH 15
at London Wul Fiber Arts 11-4

The purpose of this demonstration is to simplify how we dye our wool by using ONLY the 3 Primary Colors (& a little brown) – to make ALL the beautiful colors on the color wheel and their 8 values.

I will be demonstrating this procedure and also have a hands on for those who would like to give it a try. You will be impressed and pleasantly surprised how EASY and ENJOYABLE dyeing can be.

For those of you who have “been there” “done that”; NO you haven’t! It’s a NEW approach and a method developed for people (like me) who have trouble understanding the color wheel. By going back to basics and using the Red, Yellow and Blue primaries you will learn how to make all colors you want and understand how to use them.

For anyone who has been reluctant to try dyeing, this is for you.

For teachers, this is an excellent teaching tool.

The 8 Value swatch carded color guide showing all the beautiful colors, plus the tints, tones and shades are written on each card. No need for a dye book. 

Also available are dye spoons (smidgen/pinch/dash/) and
a set of ladles. 

Bring your enthusiasm to class! Nothing else required. 

It’s new, its exciting, its fun. See you at our presentation.

OPEN STUDIO

Featured class:
Hand Hooking Rugs: Make it Your Own

Over the years I have taught (and taken) many classes and workshops.
In doing so I have learned much about art, craft and about myself.
I have learned that I do love to teach. I also found that most of all I enjoy small intimate groups where I can fully concentrate on a student's specific goals.
This year, after having expanded our physical space,  I have opened my studio to just that learning format. Choose the date that is most convenient for you, choose from our greatly varied list of available disciplines. Join me and our team of accomplished instructors in an intimate and intensive learning experience.
