Part of the Sustainable Design Series at the Contemporary Textile Studio Co-operative, at 401 Richmond in Toronto.

March 4, 5 & 6 (Friday, Saturday + Sunday), 10 am to 4 pm

This intensive 3-day workshop will introduce the process of hand-painting, printing and stenciling on fabric using natural dyes.  The workshop focuses on the use of tannin-rich and substantive dyes that do not require the use of a mordant.  The use of mordants as modifiers and other colour modifiers will be explored. Learn the principles of preparing dye extracts from tannin-rich sources for use in printing.  Create a range of technical samples while exploring experimental mark-making and pattern on cloth.

Tuition: $325.00 + $50.00 materials fee +HST(includes dyes, fabrics and auxiliaries)
