Fiber Arts: Painting With Dye

This workshop will introduce you to the wide, wide, world of dye and will incorporate dye resist methods. This experience will give you the full scope from preparing and mordanting your fabric to a finished piece. Using MX Dye (fiber reactive dye), we will be exploring experimental methods of painting with liquid dye, thickening dye, and resisting. Towards the second half of the workshop we will be exploring printing patterns using thickened mx dye to create deconstructed silkscreens. Deconstructed silkscreening is the process of creating a textured rubbing on a silkscreen or drawing directly onto the screen and creating monoprints on your work surface. Playing with color and learning how to work in layers will be a big focus and conversation throughout this class. We will be integrating the fabrics we create into a collection of fabric collages.
