About this Event
In this 1 day workshop we will explore the world of printing with natural dyes and mordants using the following methods:
- printing with natural dye pastes.
- using modifiers to create more colours.
- printing with mordants
- overdyeing printed fabric
- we will print using screens and stencils and/or blocks.
In the morning we will look at the basic principles and materials, making technical samples and notes. In the afternoon we will be more creative and playful, experimenting with shapes, colour and overlaying print.
Pre-scoured and mordanted natural fabric swatches and a notebook will be provided.
Students will leave with notes and a range of printed samples.
It will be a technical and creative introduction to printing with natural dyes, perfect for anyone beginning their journey in printed textiles and natural colour.
We will take a 30 minute break mid way through. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, there is a wonderful food court next to the workshop or bring a sandwich.
Please get in touch if you have any special requirements.
Please wear suitable messy clothing.
Maximum of 4 people per class.
Please note that, ideally, there needs to be at least 2 people for the class to go ahead.
