Joey, Wilson and Mommy's Tie-Dyeing
We just got home from the Griffin Dyeworks Dye & Fiber Retreat in Castaic, CA. Three days of camping, spinning, dyeing, workshops, food and laughter! What a nice group of people...so talented and giving. We can't wait to go back again next year!
Here are some highlights of the retreat:

ReplyDeleteI'm going to really try to go next year. This sounds like so much fun and it's something I really need to do. I would love to learn natural dyeing and basket weaving. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

ReplyDeleteI especially love the basket weaving photo. I'd love to see a "finished" photo of it down the road. :)
Beautiful Tie Dyes!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an incredibly wonderful time!!! SO happy you all could enjoy this special trip together :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such an awesome experience. I know my kids (and myself!) would love it. We'll have to add that to our list to do one year.

Looks like a wonderful time!!
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about being able to dye with mushrooms and getting every color of the rainbow! How interesting you can also dye with mud!
Your family and blog just amaze me. I just love how artistic you all are, even that very talented husband. The only creative thing my hubby does is cutting fun trails in our field with the tractor, lol. Oh, well to each his own.
