Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

Flour, wax, gum, and glue are all really interesting ways to create texture and pattern on your fabrics. In this workshop we will experiment with all of them.

We'll work with a variety of resists that benefit from maximum dry time, play with wax and dip that piece in an organic indigo vat, use brayers and screens to add texture, and set up our thickener for painting with dyes.

Low immersion, painting with dye, and pour over techniques will be shown.
