CAROL SODERLUND
Carol Soderlund maintains an active teaching schedule throughout the United States and in Canada, teaching her color mixing techniques at ProChemical & Dye in Massachusetts, Maiwa Handprint International Textile Symposium in Vancouver and Pacific Northwest Art School in Washington in addition to Nancy Crow’s Timber Frame Barn. Her award-winning quilts have been exhibited nationally and internationally in such venues as International Quilt Festival (where she was a Best of Show winner), Visions, Husqvarna Viking Masterpieces touring exhibition.
For Carol, the ability to dye any color and the increased understanding of the interaction of colors opens the door to spontaneity and intuitive use of color in her work. It is this joyful key to color she hopes to give her students. One student writes “a note to thank you for being so selfless and generous with your teaching and information. It was like a ‘no holds barred - here take it all’ in the 5 days that we are together kind of teaching.”
• Class review by Janet Steadman of Washington state:
"Everything about Carol Soderlund's Color Mixing for Dyers is positive. I can't think of a single thing that wasn't great. Carol is an excellent instructor. Every aspect of the class was well thought out and presented in a very professional manner. The workshop includes color theory as well as hands-on dyeing experience. The end product of the class is a great book of over 1000 color swatches and the knowledge of how to reproduce the 1000 colors on your own. I would encourage anyone who is interested in dyeing fabric to take this class."

DESCRIPTION
Dye the color you choose, not the color that chooses you!
Explore the unlimited number of hues possible by mixing only pure reds, yellows, and blues of Procion MX dye. Teams of students will use different sets of primaries that when mixed will yield hundreds of colors in a wide range of values. Sharing the results, each student will build a sample book of more than 1,000 dye formulas on 100% cotton fabric. This book will become an invaluable reference for future dyeing. Using the sample book as a guide, each student will apply the basic techniques of dyeing, including dyeing value gradations, over-dyeing, and low water immersion techniques.
• Please note: this class is also perfect for people who dye yarn...knitters, weavers!
