In this workshop we’ll go from blank canvas to finished garment, exploring various techniques for surface design along the way! We’ll start by dyeing cotton fabric using natural plant dyes, then cut stencils or stamps to print unique designs with plant and earth pigments. Finally, we’ll use our custom cloth to sew versatile and stylish jackets based on a Japanese happi, perfect for light cover indoors or as a jacket in warmer weather.
All materials are included in workshop fee.
Students should wear appropriate clothing and shoes, items that you won’t mind potentially being stained. Bring a pair of rubber gloves and an apron if you like.
Students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be served.
Limit 8 students.
