Two-Day Fabric Arts Workshop [Adults]

We will learn several techniques for applying dyes to our fabrics. Silkscreen, paper resist, mono-printing and painting will be introduced. We will apply the first layer of dye on our first class. After washing out our scarves, we will return for another class to add a second layer of dyes. This will teach us about the way the colors mix to create complex and beautiful designs.
