DESCRIPTION
Get ready to undertake design challenges with shibori-dyed fabrics. This advanced class will concentrate on DESIGN, not on dyeing technique. All who come to the class MUST have previously spent at least one week with me and have a working knowledge of the techniques they want to employ for design work. Participants will arrive with a stash of dyed fabric and be ready to commence with serious design work from the starting moments of the workshop. This does not mean that we will not be dyeing during class time, or that you won’t be able to get technical input from me. However, dyeing will be independent; coordination with others will be encouraged when possible. This is your chance to stretch the right side of your brain. Critique and input from me will be ongoing, with several group critiques throughout the week.
• Please note: that participants will be working with cotton fabric only.
