DESCRIPTION
In this workshop we will explore the many ways to engage cotton fabric and PVC pipe. Twisting, turning, pleating, pre-stitching, post-stitching, wrapping with or without string... the variations are myriad. Results range from the organic to the architectural. Layer color, save white, subtract color. Quick and dirty or time-enhanced. Fabulous patterning. So many possibilities. As we delve into the many variations you may choose to tackle the challenges of design with the fabrics created (recommended), or you may choose to spend the entire week with your rubber gloves on.
Please note: that we will be working with fiber reactive dyes, most appropriate for cellulose fibers (cotton, linen, rayon). Techniques may be applied to silk with less predictable results.
