Clare (Miss Maker) and Chris (Chris Marsh Textiles) have teamed up to develop this exciting, 4 week course, which will introduce you to two fascinating fabric dyeing processes: Shibori, the ancient Japanese technique of resist dyeing, using stitch, clamping and binding in an indigo bath and Cyanotype, the original blueprint printing technique.

 

Week 1 - Clare will introduce you to techniques for preparing stitched Shibori pieces ready for indigo dyeing, we will work with cotton fabric at Miss Maker's workshop in Hartley Wintney preparing our designs ready for week 2

Week 2 - Chris will welcome you to her home workshop in Odiham to take you through the process of dipping and developing your stitched Shibori pieces. You will also have a chance to try folding and binding techniques to produce a number of unique dyed fabric designs.

Week 3 - Chris will once again welcome you to her workshop to take you through the delightful technique of cyanotype printing, using found objects such as seaweed, feathers and botanical images along with the sun rays to create unique images on fabric and paper.

Week 4 - It's back to Clare in the Miss Maker workshop to celebrate your finished pieces and use your favorites to create unique items for you and your home. Projects include cushions, drawstring bags, framed art, and simple clothing items.

 

Sessions run from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm. Our classes are limited to six participants, so everyone has access to the space and support they need.
