Join design studies students from Textile Design: Print and Dye I & II for an exhibition of naturally dyed textiles and a live indigo dye demonstration. Learn how various parts of dye plants — berries, flowers, leaves, bark and roots — can create a rainbow of color on fabric. Enjoy a range of colorful print and dye techniques on view, including naturally dyed silk scarves, hand-bound swatch books, indigo resists, and block printed and painted samples. Imagine exciting applications for creating color with plants (and some insects!) for sustainable, earth-friendly textile and fashion design! Everyone is welcome to participate in our indigo demonstration. Small samples of cotton for dipping and clamps for folded resists will be provided. Dress for mess.
