This workshop is an introduction to plant and mineral colors. It can be applied to various art practices such as printing, painting, paper arts, encaustic, weaving...... You will gain a basic understanding of plant dyes that will be created from harvested plants. We will make concentrates to experiment with and discuss the possibilities for printing and painting by thickening and pigment making. I will also introduce iron and alum mordants to fix and shift colors.

We will be creating silk and cotton samples of each colorful bath we create. There will be textiles to create larger pieces to start your experimentation. On hand will also be paper to sample the shades of watercolors that you will be making.

*There is a 15.00 material fee added at checkout.

There is no refund for cancellations after registration closes nor will there be make up classes if you don't show up for scheduled workshop.
