The Colorful and the Earthen: Fabric Dyeing with Found Objects
With Sara Nordling
July 2 - 7, 2023
In this class, we will explore a closer connection to the world around us by way of dyeing and eco-printing on fabric. We will use plants both as materials and as inspiration as we work with various methods of re-producing nature on cotton and silk cloth. Time will be spent walking and gathering, working out designs, experimenting, and in production. You will produce at least one piece of cloth and one scarf. Feel free to bring more items (100% cotton or 100% silk) of your own for further use (t-shirts, totes, button-down shirts, yardage, scarves, etc). Through this process, we will explore our place in the world, our connection to each other and to the special place that is the Guild.
