Learn hand-dying tricks of the trade from Merle Works owner and master dyer Dallas Hlatky as she brings her dye studio on the road to Wonderland + Sea in Manasquan, NJ.

We’ll be dying a beautiful and versatile Turkish towel. Plus you'll dye a pair of Merle Works's signature socks as a warm up, and be given a tea towel and shown how to use it to create a beautiful "happy accident."

The workshop will begin with an overview of materials and techniques, followed by a demonstration. Each participant will have free reign to experiment with colors and patterns as they see fit.

The full spectrum of the professional dye studio will be available including mixed dyes, powders, color swatches. Questions will be answered and hands-on help is available.

An email will go out to each participant a few days before the event. Gloves will be provided. Participants are advised to bring aprons and/or wear low-stakes clothes (dye splatter happens). Guests will leave the workshop with their hand-dyed items in sealed ziplock bags and instructions for laundering at home.

This workshop is appropriate for adults and kids 8 and up with an adult present.
