Experimental Wood Dyeing w/ Narong Tintamusik
About this Event
Free for CU Members | $40 tickets for public
This one-day workshop introduces aniline dyeing as an experimental approach to coloring wood beyond traditional stain or paint. Participants will explore how translucent dyes can transform wood surfaces into layered, textile-like skins through techniques such as washing, layering, bleeding, bleaching, and resist. The workshop is open to artists working across painting, craft, sculpture, and design who are interested in expanding their surface vocabulary. Students will leave with a set of test panels and a deeper understanding of how dyes can be used as structural and conceptual materials. This workshop is open to all levels.
Narong Tintamusik (ณรงค์ ตินตมุสิก) is a Thai-American artist and material researcher based in Dallas, Texas. His interdisciplinary practice explores personal and collective survival through painting, sculpture, wearables, and installation, all shaped by a craft-centered approach. Drawing from Thai heritage, queer identity, Buddhist-animist cosmology, and a former career in biological sciences, his work engages with themes of infrastructural collapse, cultural assimilation, spiritual disconnection, and systemic barriers to care. He asks: how can we look beyond material systems of value toward deeper forms of connection, attention, and nourishment?
