Limited to 7 Attendees
No experience necessary!
Don’t tell the other dye plants but whenever anyone asks what my favorite natural dye plant is I always say Madder! It is an incredibly potent and versatile root that can express such a big range of colors when paired with different mordants - which is exactly what we are going to be doing in this class!
Pink, Plum, Red, Maroon, Lavender and everything in between!
In this workshop, we’ll introduce and explore printing with natural dye mordants in order to create repeat prints on fabric.
We will be using blocks from the archive to print designs and patterns onto cloth, then developing the prints in an infusion made with the roots of the Madder plant, home-grown here at the workshop in Silver Lake.
All materials and supplies are provided. You’ll leave with at least two small square scarves dyed in your choice of color and pattern.
Please contact me if you have any questions!
