A useful schedule makes hidden work visible: setup, explanation, manipulation, dye time, drying, cleanup and reflection all need a place.
Sequence the decisions
Use the process family to identify what must happen before the group arrives and what cannot be rushed after the colour step. The schedule is a planning aid, not a promise of a fixed duration.
- Separate preparation
- Protect drying time
- Reserve cleanup
Match the room
Participants, surfaces, ventilation and access shape the schedule. A smaller format can be safer and more useful than an ambitious list of effects.
- Count workstations
- Check access
- Name what changes locally
