TOR Natural Dye Workshop - DATE SAT 28th June 10.30am - 12.30pm
LOCATION: Shell Space, 8 McIver Street, Brunswick, Victoria
Come, play and experiment with natural dyes and plant colour in this 2 hour workshop.
Discover the amazing variety of colour found in nature and explore a number of dyeing techniques using plant materials on natural fibres.
In this workshop you will have the opportunity to explore eco-printing, painting and creating patterns on fibre and ph modifying:
Colour study: Play with plant colour on natural fibre swatches and see what colour you can get from a variety of natural materials - extracted from eucalyptus leaves, food waste, flowers and some natural material extracts. Experiment with ph modifications to create a beautiful expanded natural dye palette
Take home art: Use extracted natural dye colour and pigments to paint on watercolour paper and play with ph modifications to create a beautiful natural dye painting (an art piece to take home!)
ADD ON: Take home wearable item: Choose between a silk scarf (small 55cm x 55cm or large 90cm x 90cm) or a pair of cotton socks. You can then dye your take home piece - in the techniques demonstrated at the workshop:
Eco-printing - using loose plant material to scatter and bundle and steam the colour in to your scarf
Painting and modifying - using the colours available to paint and create your own piece of wearable art
No natural dye knowledge required - this is a colour play and experimentation experience
