BYO Dye Workshop

Schedule

Tue Oct 14 2025 at 07:00 pm to 09:00 pm

UTC-04:00

Location

The Merle Works Studio | Asbury Park, NJ

Learn hand-dying tricks of the trade from Merle Works owner Dallas Hlatky as she turns her studio over to you and your projects. Merle Works hand-dyed goods are sold at fine independent boutiques across the country.

Bring about 3-5 items from your wardrobe or home made of natural fibers and natural fiber blends (at least 50% cotton silk wool linen viscose rayon bamboo). It's a great opportunity to breathe new life into old items or sentimental pieces that have seen better days. You'll start by dying a pair of Merle Works's signature socks as a warm up plus you'll 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. After participants will have free rein to experiment with colors and patterns as they see fit. The full spectrum of the professional dye studio will be available to you including mixed dyes powders color swatches and tools.

An email will go out to each participant a few days before the event. Please reply if you have any specific inspiration or are looking to replicate a certain technique (ice dye reverse/bleach dye) or bring a large format item (curtains sheets) so the appropriate set up and materials can be prepared. 

Gloves will be provided. Participants are advised to bring aprons and/or wear low-stakes clothes and shoes (dye splatter happens). Guests will leave the workshop with their hand-dyed items in sealed ziplock bags or other containers and instructions for laundering at home. 

This workshop is appropriate for adults and kids 7 and up. BYO refreshments if you like! Adults please drink responsibly. ; )

Merle Works workshops are held in the Merle Works studio on the second floor of the historic Studebaker Building at 807 Summerfield Avenue Asbury Park. In order to get to the studio you will have to navigate a flight of stairs. Please inquire aboout any special accomodations or concerns.
