Fiber & Pigment:
The magic meeting of botanicals & textiles

Embark on a journey into the enchanting world of fibers & pigment. We will explore how botanicals interact with textiles using natural dyes, eco-printing, & shibori techniques.  Harnessing the vibrant hues of nature’s bounty, you’ll learn to create botanical prints & patterns on silk, cotton, and paper using flowers, leaves, & extracts.  
Unlock the secrets of this eco-conscious art form and create some beautiful pieces to hang as art or wear.  Your attendance fee will cover a variety of materials to explore, and you’re welcome to bring an item for printing.  No prior art experience is needed, making this workshop perfect for individuals aged 12 and up.

• materials: local botanicals, silk & cotton ready to wear items, natural dyes, watercolor paper, & all the tools to make the magic

Paint with Wool

Explore the creative galaxy of wool painting.   We will gather around a communal table with piles of soft colorful wool roving, pre-made rustic wood frames, and watercolors as templates.  No art experience required – I will guide you through the process of painting with fibers and a needle.  

All materials provided so you can go home with a ‘ready to hang’ piece of fiber art! 

wool roving, upcycled clothing canvas, salvaged wool frame, and watercolor templates

You don’t need any fiber art experience to be successful. Every time I teach this class I am amazed at the beauty my students create, the joy they find in the process, and the harmony we reach as a group.
