April 2025 Guild Meeting Ice Dyeing Workshop
|
UPDATE AFTER WORKSHOP - What a great time we had learning to dye our own fabric. Thank you to Teresa and Jody for such a tremendous workshop. The weather was beautiful, and we enjoyed lunch and fellowship while we waited for the ice to melt and the magic to happen.

In April, Teresa S and Jody W will be leading us through an Ice Dyeing Workshop. They have put a lot of thought, time and effort into bringing us this fantastic workshop. This will be an extended guild meeting due to the dyeing process. Plan to bring your lunch and stay for fun and fellowship as well as learning this new technique.
This should be a lot of fun. Please sign up at the March meeting so that Jody and Teresa can finish cutting out the kits necessary. See Details below and link for the information and form.
