Earth Pigments & Natural Dyes

Saturday October 24
10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Instructors: Gitte Hansen & Diana Fox-Revett

Materials Fee: $30 (paid directly to the Instructors)
Students: 12

Spend the day with studio members, Diana and Gitte, discovering the rich beauty of earth pigments and plant dye colour palettes. Using our studio collection of small screens you will be taught to screen print patterns and textures with earth pigments on small cloth bags.

The afternoon will be spent embroidering, mending, stitching, and embellishing your prints with a selection of wool, silk, cotton, and linen threads that have been naturally dyed with a variety plants to create a beautiful collection of colour and pattern.

The Contemporary Textile Studio would like to thank the Ontario Arts Council for their grant support of the Sustainable Fibres & Colours series of workshops.
