SUMMARY:Visual Haiku with Flax Fiber Collage
DESCRIPTION:Wabi-Sabi\, the Japanese art of impermanence\, will be the thread of our creative process as we explore the myriad possibilities with flax roving and other natural materials for collage and visual haiku. \nExplore concepts of sense of place and your relationship to place through materiality. We will focus on transforming natural materials into collages through texture\, perception\, and ways of seeing. We will dive into mark-making with ink\, dye\, and stains. Discover how to use simple materials for self-expression. \nDetails: \nTake a deep dive into fiber art through collage and materiality. Explore the nature of textured paper combined with foraged materials\, thread\, ink\, and dye. \n\nImmerse yourself in a contemplative creative process.\nPrincipal areas of focus are non-traditional papermaking with flax fiber for collage.\nDevelop a project or idea using collage concepts for decorative panels.\nReceive daily process-oriented demonstrations and visual presentations in a collaborative environment.\nImplement new techniques with natural fibers.\nThe workshop is designed to alternate between focused instructional demonstrations and uninterrupted time for art-making between sessions.\n\nAll skill levels are welcome. \nMaterials provided: ($30 material fee paid to instructor) \n\nFlax roving\, natural and bleached\nLineco PVA glue\nFiberglass window screen\n2Qt. bowl\nsponges\, gesso brushes\, saran wrap\, plastic sheeting\n\nStudents bring: \n\nNotebook\nHandmade paper as inclusion\nFavorite brush for mark-making\nDry pigments (optional)\nPlant fiber or materials to experiment with\nMaterials for stitching (tapestry thread and needles\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Intro to Shibori and Indigo
DESCRIPTION:Indigo is an ancient dye derived from the leaves of plants and surrounded by magic\, mystery\, and folklore. Discover how the leaves ‘make blue’ by learning about the character and chemistry of the natural indigo vat.\nThe complex chemistry of the indigo vat is fascinating and students will soon appreciate how rituals have grown around the making and using of a successful vat. The unique ‘attaching’ of indigo to fiber means it is particularly suited to resist methods of dying\, such as shibori\, where portions of cloth are closed off to the dye or where the flow of dye is restricted. Different shades of blue build on the fabric after several dips\, exhibiting the beautiful graded hues that are so typical of indigo. \nSKILLS/TECHNIQUES COVERED: Students will initially learn how an indigo vat is made. A vat will be prepared in the morning and the basic chemistry explained. The natural indigo powder will be used\, and the vat will be ‘reduced’ using a commercially available chemical. While the vat develops\, students will be shown several shibori techniques: a folded and clamped method\, and a twisted and tied technique. \nLEVEL: Beginner and intermediate \nLOCATION: STUART STUDIO \nStudents will be given authentic Japanese tenugi fabric for class instruction

SUMMARY:Botanical Printing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Colorful Chemistry of Plants: A Botanical Printing Immersion \nBring your favorite plant to life—literally! In this vibrant\, hands-on workshop\, students will focus on one cherished plant and explore the endless ways it can reveal its hidden beauty on cloth. \nStart by selecting a special species to work with all week—it might be a local leaf superstar like grevillea or Brazilian peppertree\, a florist’s go-to like eucalyptus\, or a personal favorite brought from home like oak\, walnut\, maple\, or sumac. \nThen the magic begins. \nWe’ll take a deep dive into the world of mordants\, tannins\, and iron\, experimenting with at least 10 different combinations to discover how these assists unlock stunning detail\, texture\, and color in botanical prints. Think of it as plant alchemy—where chemistry meets art. \nUsing natural fabrics from the class kit (and any personal favorites you bring)\, you’ll create a gallery of rich\, layered samples—all printed with your chosen plant. By week’s end\, you’ll stitch these pieces together into a gorgeous fabric sample book—a personal reference and work of art in itself. \nWhether you’re a textile enthusiast\, a nature lover\, or just curious about the secrets of leaves\, this class will show you just how much one plant can say—when you know how to ask.

SUMMARY:Depth and Mystery in Shibori
DESCRIPTION:With Shibori the dyer works in concert with the materials\, not to overcome their limitations\, but to allow them full expression. An element of the unexpected is always present. Chance and accident give life to the Shibori process\, contributing to its special magic\, appeal\, and individual expression. \nWe will explore several methods of enhancing the fabric; creating depth and mystery through color and texture\, and increasing the complexity of imagery and pattern. \n\nvarious methods of shaped resist\nlayering resist techniques\nadding color through pour dyeing and immersion dyeing\ndischarge\n\nWe will also look at color—inspiration\, choosing\, and mixing—with acid dyes on a variety of silk fabrics. Layering color upon color adds visual depth and allows the fabric to vibrate visually.

SUMMARY:Depth and Mystery in Shibori
DESCRIPTION:With Shibori the dyer works in concert with the materials\, not to overcome their limitations\, but to allow them full expression. An element of the unexpected is always present. Chance and accident give life to the Shibori process\, contributing to its special magic\, appeal\, and individual expression. \nWe will explore several methods of enhancing the fabric; creating depth and mystery through color and texture\, and increasing the complexity of imagery and pattern. \n\nvarious methods of shaped resist\nlayering resist techniques\nadding color through pour dyeing and immersion dyeing\ndischarge\n\nWe will also look at color—inspiration\, choosing\, and mixing—with acid dyes on a variety of silk fabrics. Layering color upon color adds visual depth and allows the fabric to vibrate visually.

SUMMARY:Komebukuro: Crafting a Cultural Keepsake
DESCRIPTION:Create a beautiful and functional komebukuro—a traditional Japanese rice bag—using fabrics that hold personal meaning or aesthetic appeal. These charming drawstring bags were originally used to carry offerings of rice to temples\, and today they make lovely gift bags\, project pouches\, or keepsake carriers. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to piece\, stitch\, and construct your own fully lined rice bag using a simple boxed-base method. We’ll cover design layout\, fabric pairing\, basic construction\, and finishing techniques. You’ll leave with a completed bag and the skills to make many more. \n🧵 What to bring:\nPlease bring your own fabric—scraps\, hand-dyed pieces\, or favorite remnants are ideal (a suggested supply list will be provided upon registration). A sewing machine and basic sewing tools are helpful but not required. \n🪡 Skills covered: \n\n\nKomebukuro history and design \n\n\nPatchwork layout and piecing \n\n\nLining and boxed corners \n\n\nDrawstring casing and cord finishings \n\n\nThis workshop is suitable for confident beginners and seasoned stitchers alike.

SUMMARY:Intro to Shibori and Indigo
DESCRIPTION:Indigo is an ancient dye derived from the leaves of plants and surrounded by magic\, mystery\, and folklore. Discover how the leaves ‘make blue’ by learning about the character and chemistry of the natural indigo vat.\nThe complex chemistry of the indigo vat is fascinating and students will soon appreciate how rituals have grown around the making and using of a successful vat. The unique ‘attaching’ of indigo to fiber means it is particularly suited to resist methods of dying\, such as shibori\, where portions of cloth are closed off to the dye or where the flow of dye is restricted. Different shades of blue build on the fabric after several dips\, exhibiting the beautiful graded hues that are so typical of indigo. \nSKILLS/TECHNIQUES COVERED: Students will initially learn how an indigo vat is made. A vat will be prepared in the morning and the basic chemistry explained. The natural indigo powder will be used\, and the vat will be ‘reduced’ using a commercially available chemical. While the vat develops\, students will be shown several shibori techniques: a folded and clamped method\, and a twisted and tied technique. \nLEVEL: Beginner and intermediate \nLOCATION: STUART STUDIO \nStudents will be given authentic Japanese tenugi fabric for class instruction
