Code Of Ethics (short form)


Mission Statement

Redding Method is committed to teaching the general public scientific and artistic techniques in hand dyeing raw protein and cellulose fibers.  This education is important in preserving a 4500 year old history in textile colorization as well as keeping pace with society’s trend toward self sustainability and away from industrially manufactured necessities.  Beyond teaching the history and practical application of coloring textile fiber components, Redding Method advances traditional techniques by incorporating modern day science and artistic fundamentals germane to the hand dyeing process.

Introduction and Applicability 
Redding Method (RM) makes a strong ethical commitment to the students, teachers and to the community as a whole. To the students, RM is steadfast in its commitment to exceptional instructional quality as well as creating a supportive environment conducive to learning.  For the Certified RM teacher, RM commits to supporting instructors through accessible continuing education and promotion of their services via www.Reddingmethod.com.  To the community, Redding Method promises to offer positivity in the fiber arts while holding itself and it’s members to a “Gold Standard” of conduct.  While RM commits to its students, teachers and community, it also requires a Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code) of members, teachers and students associated with RM.  The long form Ethics Code consists of an Introduction and Applicability, a Preamble, General Principles and specific Ethical Standards. The short form version includes the Introduction and Applicability, Ethical Standards, and Resolution of Ethical Issues.

I want to say THANK YOU Natalie ! You have already spurred me to learn something I haven’t succeeded in learning my self during all the years I have been dyeing wool: Namely to really repeat my dyeing. Ulrika

Natalie,
Words cannot express my appreciation for all you have shared.  When I signed up for the first Dye Secrets class, I had no idea what we would learn.  Every Sunday was filled with excitement to learn not just about dyeing, but about fleece, business, critters... Your talents and abilities are endless.  Joelle

As usual Natalie has blazed new trails with her techniques, thoroughly researched, and packaged up the techniques so you, the student, can get to the heart of the “how to” quickly. Highly recommend.

Natalie Redding is such a phenomenal teacher. She spends many hours researching and troubleshooting her classes. Then she is able to present the massive amounts of information on such a manner that makes it easy for us to understand. The yarn dyeing class is no exception. Natalies classes get better and better.
