Weaving Indiana

Next meeting via Zoom, June 19, 2021, 10 a.m.:
Color and Mixing Dyes for Warp Painting.

For the June meeting Carrie May will give a short tour of her dye studio over Zoom, and then will talk about using Procion MX dyes, how to mix them and how to paint warps using these cold water dyes.

Carrie May, dyer, lives and works in Dayton, Ohio. She was a weaver for many years, and was a member of Weaving Indiana as well. In 2006, she participated in a dye workshop with Mary Burks given by the Indy Weavers, Spinners and Dyers and never looked back.

Carrie taught warp painting classes at Tabby Tree Weaver for Linda Adamson, and has given dyeing workshops for the Weaving Indiana Weaver’s Guild. She also taught a warp painting class at Midwest in 2017. Carrie partnered with Mindy McCain in their joint business Loominarias, selling hand-painted, hand-woven scarves.
