Sponsored by Rochester Textile, an upstate New York shop offering Japanese textile supplies and workshops led by certified instructor Renee Johnson.
Tray dyeing fabric is low mess and allows you to create incredibly beautiful textured fabrics that are unique to you.
Materials
- Natural fiber fabric: dyers muslin, osnaburg and muslin are inexpensive to experiment with. Prepare by scouring/washing to remove any finishes. Do not use fabric softeners when drying
- Dye: I use fiber reactive dye from Pro Chemical Supply or Dharma Trading. If you are new to dyeing, just pick 3 or 4 to start with. You don’t need them all.
- Soda Ash
- Salt
- Mask-like an N95 for small particles
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Trays or small containers to hold your fabrics
- Jars with lids and squeeze bottles
- 5 gal bucket for soda ash solution and smaller bucket for salt water
- Rubber gloves
- Plastic to protect surfaces and cover the fabrics while batching
- Rags for cleanup
