Annette (the owner) is launching a full scale, publicly accessible dye studio that you'll have access to after the class series. New sweater or shawl pattern you wanna dye your own? You'll be able to pick your favorite fiber base and hop in to a guided dye night with all the professional tools at your disposal, continuing education workshops and incredible new colorways exclusive to The Knitting Tree. Annette and I are also very passionate about diversity, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) representation and inclusion in the indie dyer market. I've decided to open a scholarship spot in every workshop I teach in 2020 for a person of color to learn the hand dyed trade. Your materials and class fee will be covered, and I will personally help you launch your business - from finding suppliers, Research & Developing your signature look, how to set up an online marketplace, and whatever other  mentorship needs you might have.  ***2 Students have applied and been selected for the scholarship for these 2 dates, if they sell out, we'll add more dates and pull from the pool of applicants. I look forward to our class!
