Once you see the shades of coppery brown color’s possible from rust dyeing, you will quickly fall in love like I have...

I’ll show you how easy it is to
create one-of-a-kind fabrics dyed with
nothing but a simple rust dye.

I’ve been experimenting with rust dyeing since 2010. In the past I’ve worked with rusty metal,
but once I found a recipe for using a rust liquid dye, my main focus has been to take that old
recipe and adapt it so that it’s safe and easy to use.

I know how frustrating it is to search and search for that special fabric that will take your textile art from so-so to stand-out. But it doesn’t have to be!

Let me show you how easy it is to create
stunning, unique fabrics to turn your next project into something special

Does this sound like you?

  • You’ve searched every local fabric store and online resource and still can’t find
    the right fabric for your project
  • You have a drawer (or an entire room) full of fabrics you’ve purchased in the
    past thinking they were just the right one, but they didn’t never seem to live up to
    your expectations
  • You think you don’t have the space or time or patience to rust
    dye your own fabrics
  • You think dyeing with rust is hard and messy and not worth the hassle

Imagine being able to....

Create hand-dyed rust fabric for your textile art projects

Learn my secret formula

I’ll teach you my secret formula for concocting a liquid rust dye using safe and easy- to- source materials. Dye just what you need for each project so there’s no wasted time or fabric.

Create textile art that does not look like everyone else’s

Using your own hand-dyed rust fabric will reflect your personality and be truly your own.

Have more time for creating

Less time searching for just the right fabric means you have more time for what you love, creating!

About Angie, Your Instructor

Learning new things is who Angie is:  It is what she does. Sharing that knowledge as
an educator and mixed media textile artist is also who she is and what she does.
He art is a physical manifestation of my learning and sharing.

When Angie first discovered dyeing fabric with rust, it was love at first sight. Even though she  kept
trying other intriguing processes, she would always find her way back to rust. Now Angie has accepted
that rust is her thing!

Angie created this course to pass on her hard gained knowledge and so that others could enjoy this fascinating process. Her teaching style is very direct, step by step and process orientated and she  aims to give her students the skills to get started and then master the process, making it their own.

The colors created with rust dyeing is so earthy and natural they are hard to resist. The best
part is each fabric you create is one of a kind. You, nor anyone else would be able to create
the exact same fabric. No cookie cutter look here.

The teacher always you wish you'd had!

Angie is that teacher that you wanted/needed in high school and college.  She's approachable, a good listener, patient like all get-out.  Angie knows her stuff; rusting and dyeing fabric she lives and breathes and most of all wants to share her knowledge.  I've watched Angie work with all levels of students and she is able to satisfy everyone with her expertise and knowledge.  Cool, calm and a quick laugh, you'll enjoy taking a class with Angie.

Angie has unending patience in helping us to succeed

Over the last several years I have taken many "online" classes and often have been disappointed in the quality of the instruction and/or the follow-up.  Not so with Angie Knowles's courses.  She has created an online approach to teaching that is relaxed, and detailed without being overwhelming.  Her can-do attitude and encouraging style as she presents the material is inspiring!

The second element of Angie's classes that puts her in a higher category is the thorough, practical descriptions and easy to understand samples she presents in her classes, even when the material might be daunting computer programs.

What I appreciate most about Angie's courses is her commitment to work with her students until they have mastered the tools she is teaching.  Unlike many courses that take a webinar and "figure it out on your own" approach, Angie has unending patience in helping us to succeed.  I highly recommend joining Angie's learning community.
