This course is a deep dive introduction to surface design using natural dyes. Spanning 5 days, the classes cover processes and methods to create pattern and design on the surface of fabric. The classes teach how to use thickened mordants and thickened dye, how to make and use resists and introduce methods such as stamping, deconstructed silkscreening and monoprinting to apply the dyes to the fabric. Registrants will develop their own motifs and use it to create pattern and texture on different types of fabric provided by the instructor. Students walk away with practice samples to start developing their own sample book. This class is great for quilters and sewists who want to use their own signature fabric. It's also great for those who want to learn something new.
All experience levels welcome.
