Reconnect with your crafty childhood and learn the basics of natural dyes on cotton. In this 2-day workshop, we’ll use safe and easy mordants and plant dyes to color plain white cotton loopers for traditional potholder weaving.
We’ll elevate the basic weaving process by manipulating the plainweave structure on traditional metal frame looms.
All tools and materials are included in the workshop fee. Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be served; students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch.
Saturday 10am-3pm: mordanting and dyeing
