10 and a Half Reasons
I Love
Dyeing Classes at WC Mercantile by Jo Poindexter
11. It's fun!
Students
laugh and brag. You're so proud you show
your work to strangers.
22. Everyone at W.C.
Mercantile is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
At
W. C. Mercantile, you can purchase the supplies you need to work at home.
33. Big investment not
needed.
It
doesn't take a lot of supplies or a big investment to get a great result. (Until you go nuts and decide to convert your
garage to a state of the art dye shed.)
44. Some students develop
a crush on the teacher.
Loretta
Eaton (L-0-R-E-TT-A E-A-T-O-N) teaches the class.
55. You can do this at
home.
You
can go home, use what you learn, and get a great result.
66. You learn to be
safe.
You'll
learn to handle the chemicals safely in class and at home.
77. It's about the
color.
You
learn how to use the dyes, but really it's about the color.
88. It releases your
creativity.
The
class includes exercises to increase your creativity (or, for the creativity
challenged -- how to recognize that you really do have some).
99. You can look pitiful.
If you're good at this, Loretta
will give you hints.
110. Encouragement is
free.
WC
Mercantile and Loretta are encouraging and foster sharing.
111. Everyone's welcome.
You
are welcome no matter what your skill level.
Everyone learns something new.
112. Critiques are offered
lovingly.
Loretta
and Stephanie will constructively criticize, even the work you do later at home.
113.
Color - Color - Color
You learn to mix and use dyes to get different, more vibrant colors.
101/2. The yarn or fiber you take home will be beautiful.
Ok
-- so this is actually 13 1/2. Delete 3
that don't apply to you and you'll have 10 1/2.
