10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

This exciting workshop has been developed for quilters, stitchers and mixed media artists. You will learn basic colour mixing theory using Procion MX dyes, the standard dye for all cellulose-based fabrics and suitable for cotton, linen, silk and more. Projects will include simple colour gradations, colour-to-colour runs, creating neutrals and the development of a range of fabrics and threads using a planned palette showing value, tints and shades.


Dye recipes will be recorded so students will learn how to reproduce their colour choices and there will be an emphasis on safe studio habits. Students will learn to make patterns on fabrics using both compression and applied resist methods, as well as simple patterning with stitch. Time will be spent on creating fabric with specific needs in mind and students can finish with a palette of their choice, ready to be used for a variety of fibre, drawing or painting projects.


No experience necessary. Supply fee covers speciality materials.
