About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour
Join us for this online demonstration: Dyeing to do the Colour Wheel with Melanie Missin.
Melanie loves dyeing fabrics and any other natural fibres she can. Over the years she has experimented with many recipes to create different variations in the colours.
Using the colour theory, Procion dyes and some ‘recipes’, Melanie will show you how to create the colourwheel with three warm colour dyes, Red, Intense Blue and Golden Yellow and three cool colour dyes, Magenta, Lemon and Turquoise. Then wait for the magic to begin. You can achieve so many different colours or shades from three primary colours. Sometimes black is used as well which is a whole new dyeing game!
Now she dyes all her own embroidery threads, fabrics, lace, braids etc to use in her work, workshops and to sell.
“I hope you will enjoy this process and the outcomes as much as I do.”
