A materials list will be provided. Some materials will be included in the workshop.
In this 3-day atelier, students will delve into a world of creative surface design on textiles, using various printmaking processes. Imagery, and patterns will be created through these processes using colours derived from natural and botanical sources (such as traditional natural dyes, plant and mineral dyes) and these will be extracted to create a palette for direct application on textiles as well as paper. Students will be painting, block and silkscreen printing, stencilling, and writing on textiles using a dye thickener, as well as exploring various colour modifiers to extend their colour palettes. They will explore composition and repeat designs, using these wonderful mark-making techniques and creating colour palettes for textile patterns, derived from nature.
Maximum of 10 students.
FibreWorks Gallery provides a complimentary light lunch each day of instruction.
