Middlebury Studio School

Join us for a Fiber Arts fusion of dyeing and printing methods inspired by nature! Learn how to make natural dyes using materials found in nature or the garden, such as beets, onion skins, etc. Discover a palette of color to experiment with while being guided through the process. Next, explore Tataki Zome, a Japanese technique which involves pounding flowers into fabric to extract pigment from botanicals. On the final day, participants will combine color & botanicals with sunshine (weather permitting) to explore Heliographic printing. Experiment with color while using paint that reacts to UV light to create sun paintings or prints. Capture the beauty and colors of nature and create stunning designs in this fiber arts medley of natural methods! Each participant will dye/print on tea towels, drawstring bags, & more. Materials included. Students are welcome to bring their own botanicals & flowers-an assortment will be provided. All levels, Adults/Teens
