LILLSTREET ART CENTER

Students will learn how to obtain eco-friendly color on a variety of materials through research, experimentation and the collaborative proccess.  We will start by learning the foundations of natural dyeing- experimenting with raw dyes, extracts and the indigo process.  Continuing in the collaborative process, students will create a book of dye samples.  Discussion topics, such as dye history, gardens and techniques, will be supplemented with detailed handouts.  All dyes and some fabrics are provided.  A list of other supplies will be mailed to students before the first day of class.  Open to all levels.
