Description

Merle Works parties are held in the Merle Works studio on the second floor of the historic Studebaker Building, at 807 Summerfield Avenue, Asbury Park. Merle Works hand-dyed goods are sold at fine independent boutiques across the US and in Europe. Learn tricks of the trade from owner Dallas Hlatky as she turns her studio over to you and your projects. Participants will bring 2-4 items from their wardrobe or home (pillow cases, table linens, etc) made of natural fibers and natural fiber blends (at least 60% cotton, silk, wool, rayon) and breathe new life and color into old items or sentimental pieces that have seen better days. Plus a pair of Merle Works's signature socks to dye for each dyer! There will be demonstrations on different techniques, color inquiry and theory, questions and answers, hands on help if requested, and a rainbow of colors available. Gloves will be provided. Participants are advised to bring aprons or wear low-stakes clothes (stray dye happens). Guests will leave the workshop with their hand-dyed items in sealed ziplock bags or other containers (in the case of larger items) and instructions for laundering at home. BYOB if you like!
