The Class
Instructor: Emily Parkinson
Medium: Fiber
Workshop Title: Fiber: Plants, Prints, & Patterns on Cotton
Immerse yourself in the wonders of mordant printing. We start with daily pattern play using prompts and exercises to get ideas flowing and then develop those ideas further by applying original surface designs to cotton samples with thickened mordants. You can expect to leave with an introduction to various printing techniques—screen printing, stamping, painting—and a foundational knowledge of natural dyes. Open to all.
