John C. Campbell Folk School 2023

THIS could be the year that you visit the awesome John C. Campbell Folk School!  I was 
lucky enough to take a one week workshop there last month.  The school is located in Brasstown, NC. Brasstown is in the southwest corner of the state.

I learned some new techniques in the Shibori Dyeing class taught by Emily Ayers.  Following are some photos from my most recent trip to Brasstown.  I have now taken three classes at the Folk School.  I’ve also taught two classes there. 







I made a dress and harem pants several months before traveling to Brasstown.
I used Kona PDF (prepared for dyeing) cotton for those garments.  See before and 
after photos below.










I purchased a white jacket from St. Vincent’s here in Madison before heading to 
North Carolina.  I didn’t pay much for it.  I thought it would be a good candidate 
for dyeing.  And it was!






I also dyed some cotton fabric yardage, a silk scarf, and a pair of socks!  It’s
pretty obvious that I love the turquoise range of color!
