Spaces and equipment | Dyeing Studio

In the Dyeing studio | Wetlab, you can manipulate surfaces and dye materials in a pot or a machine. You have access to Dylon direct dyes and the most common water-based printing pastes and pigments. The wet work area enables, for example, different BioArt experiments, and you can also use plant-based and reactive dyes.
- Dyeing is not allowed (and cannot be done) without learning the basics of dyeing, its methods and recipes. On the following pages, you will find instructions for dyeing by hand and by machine, as well as the recipe for Dylon direct dyes. You will learn how to work safely in the Occupational Safety section.
