Eileen Hallman

My specialty is fresh indigo but I also dye and do surface design mostly on cotton with indigo and other natural dyes. I've developed  a method to mordant print tannins via marbling as preparation for dyeing with with natural dyes. I teach occasionally at Local Cloth and the John C, Campbell Folk School, and by appointment in my studio or by Zoom.

Candler, NC

Allison Teeples

I teach in-person beginner and intermediate floor loom and rigid heddle courses. I am interested in expanding into teaching natural and fiber-reactive dye work, as well. I currently work at Haywood Community College (Creative Arts Continuing Education, Clyde, NC) and Heritage Weavers and Fiber Artists (Hendersonville, NC), but I am always open to new opportunities! I offer courses on weekdays, weeknights, and weekends, all in hopes of offering these courses to a wide range of ages from teen to older adult.
