Fee: $55 (class fee) + $5 (kit fee) - Total $60
What could be more fun than a trip to a new fabric store? Making your very own fabric! In this workshop you will learn how to mix full array of colours from the three primary colours so that you can use any imaginable colour combination to create brilliant and exciting textures. Imagine fabrics that look like an abstract flower garden or subtle sky, landscapes and seascapes. Produce soft imagery with depth and interest by spraying and learn the intriguing aspects of pigment dyeing. You will experience and see patterns in everyday objects and learn to turn them into exquisite fabrics.
Learn how to dye with pigments, creating interesting textures. No messy chemicals, no odours, no need to leave the fabric in the “dye bath”, no colour changes. What you see is what you get...and it’s great!
No previous experience necessary.
