LOCATION: 4425 LINDEN STREET, OAKLAND
(ENTRY THROUGH COURTYARD ON LINDEN)
Bring any portable project you’d like to work on in the company of others. In addition to having a ton of sewing and mending supplies, we have basic art supplies like pens, pencils, cutting mats, x-acto knives, glue, and some book binding material. Come hang out! It’s been so fun to see what everyone is working on and witness people nerding out together over their special interests.
Community Dye Day:
Bundle Dying
Sunday September 20th | 11-1pm. Plan to come by 11:30 to put your samples into the dye pot.
At Makeshift Studio at Standard Parts
4425 Linden St, Oakland CA
September’s community dye day will be all about “bundle dyeing”, a method using steam to print / fix flowers to textiles for a variety of interesting surface design patterns.
We provide small pre-mordanted* fabric for samples, and folks are also welcome to bring small, pre-mordanted pieces (smaller than a pillow case) of any natural fibers (cotton/silk/linen/wool) to experiment with.
Community day days are an accessible monthly offering for learning and sharing knowledge about working with natural dyes. All experience levels are welcome. Suggested donation of $15-35, NOTAFLOF
