A group-directed itinerary of explorations into the expansive world of natural dyes. This term’s project will be a “cumulative” cloth: we’ll mordant, dye, and print both fabric and thread to layer and stitch a cloth with additive techniques.
This course is a self-directed and continuous study group; while we build upon previous experience, adventurous beginners are always welcome!
