This course is welcome to all levels. Anyone can take these courses if interested. Beginner-level instruction will be provided for basic skills while more advanced users can work on more complex projects with instructor assistance.
Create a couture garment that is nature dyed and over printed with clay dye. Participants will choose from a selection of simple cotton or linen tops or jackets to dye with natural dyes. Learn about African mud cloth and other historical patterns as you experiment with designs on different fabric samples. You will then create your own unique pattern for your dyed piece and paint or print it for a unique clay couture garment. You may also bring your own cotton or linen garments or fabric to dye and print if time allows.
