Batik Silk Scarf |
|
This workshop will explore the different ways
to apply wax to fabric for artists to create their own personal images. We'll cover ways to prevent
the applied wax from cracking, create crack where it is desired for support
the artists' design as well as supplement a design with unique wax patterning.
Students will create several designs on cotton fabric with multiple dye baths
so that they will fully understand the build up and overlay of patterns and design.
No prior experience with wax or dye is required for the class.
Supply sheet will be provided upon enrollment.

Shibori Pattern Making |
This class focuses on the Shibori
Itajime techniques, allowing participants to create a rich interweaving
of patterns using the Japanese fold and clamp. This technique
is a wonderful way to get repeats of pattern without them being
all exactly the identical. Using multiple dye baths, participants
will apply different resists as well as different colors to create
complex patterns. |
Bomaki and Fold and Clamp Shibori |
Mastering Shibori |
The traditional
Japanese art of manipulating fabric offers a surprising array
of binding methods. We'll twist and turn the fabric around
a PVC pole. Using multiple PVC poles we’ll get totally different
effect. Through clamping and folding techniques, a rich layer
of overlapping patterns will develop. With a variety of
stitched resists, patterns like willow leaves, spider webs or
even wood grain motifs will evolve! This class will help to extend
your art whether you are making quilts or wearable clothes. |
