I started with a demonstration and let them loose with the dyes, here are some of the results:
I think I had 13 dyer's in all but instead of pandemonium it all went very well!
This is a little sampler of Bluefaced Leicester which I dyed up as a colour sampler so people could see the strength of colours we were going to be using today. It is spiral dyed with 11 colours.

Looks good enough to eat!
So glad you did a workshop and of course it went well!
Looks like great fun - once you've herded everyone up and got them pointing in the right direction, workshops are very satisfying. Well done!
What a fabulous looking group and not at all surprised to see them all smiling. If I had my personal teleporter I'd be THERE!
All the dyed fibres are great, love the range and everyone's ideas.
The BFL, FUN and gorgeous!

That looks like it was fun - if you ever do another one and I'm awake at the time, I'd love to go along!
That looks such a lot of fun, and what a great selection of different effects.
It looks like everyone had a great time. The fibers look great...a rainbow of color.
How brilliant (literally). No wonder everyone's smiling. Especially love your sample piece.
Well done - the results look absolutely fantastic.
Love your samples too - mmm pretty.
How cool! That must have been a great experience for all.
