TEXT 101 Dye Technology is an introductory study of the application of colour on fibre through direct application and immersion dye processes. Utilizing a variety of natural fibres, yarns and fabric, plant dyes will be explored within a contemporary context. Indigo, as the ancient, natural blue, will be more fully worked with through the practice of shibori resist techniques.
