Fee: $165/ discount with member code
Ages: 15+
Levels: All Levels
Sessions: 1
Instructor: Crescent Calimpong
Location: Schack Art Center, Studio 1
Come experience the wonder of natural dyeing. In this one-day workshop, we will cover how to scour and mordant on cotton. We will also cover applying natural color to cotton, with an emphasis on immersion dyeing. By the end of the workshop, workshop participants will learn to prepare cotton fabric for the dye bath, as well as prepare their own dye pot. Participants will walk away with 2 naturally dyed cotton bandanas that participants prepped and dyed during the workshop, and 3 cotton samples.
Please bring:
• Apron (or wear clothes you don't mind getting a little messy)
• Dish gloves (optional but nice if you don't want to get dye on your hands) • Wear comfortable/closed-toed shoes
• Lunch, water. There will be a 1-hour lunch break. Participants are welcome to grab lunch nearby.
