Participants will be able to create test strips from each dye bath to keep for future reference. We will also provide a few larger pieces of fabric\, such as repurposed bandanas made of 100% natural white cotton that have been prepared in a mordant. Participants will learn some dye resist techniques as well as the use of an iron modifier to change the dye color results. \n
