Hooray! We have snow and that means snow dyeing. Quickly before it melts gather up some snow. I got mine from the hood and windshield of the car. Soak some cotton or other plant based fabric in some soda ash water for about 10 minutes. Fold or scrunch the fabric into a container deep enough for the fabric and snow. Sprinkle with Procion MX dye powder and wait for about 24 hours or just until the snow melts. Wash out the excess dye and you will find a beautiful piece of fabric. Try it.
Many members of FAO are exhibiting in this juried show. Join us for the opening/juror lecture on Sunday, 2/12/12 at 1:00 p.m. The show runs through March 25, 2012

Many of us dream of finding our “nitch” doing something that we love to do and that we’re really good at. For our October program, we’re very fortunate to have Lisa Sorrell, who seems to have stumbled unexpectedly into just such a life. Her custom-designed boots, crafted in her shop in Guthrie, have won numerous awards and grace the feet of celebrities. In addition to being featured in numerous publications, her unique work has been featured in numerous exhibits, including the Craft in America exhibit at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Center two years ago. Lisa will tell us her unlikely story and show us how she works her special magic on leather. She will also bring tools and materials, so that some of us will have an opportunity to try some of her techniques.
