A group-directed itinerary of explorations into the expansive world of natural dyes. This term will continue our focus on obtaining specific color gradations from inspirational images and include some side projects like anthotypes!
This course is a self-directed and continuous study group; while we build upon previous experience, adventurous beginners are always welcome!
