6:00 to 8:00 pm

Join Heather Bennett at the JSAC for the opportunity to learn the true meaning of collage! What most people think of as a collage is actually more of a vision board: cutting out images of things we want or like and putting them all together. However, a true collage is the act of taking images of existing elements or objects and creating new elements or objects from those images. We'll explore color, composition, perspective, and Surrealism.

Intro to Botanical Dyes

Workshop
Saturday May 24, 10am-12pm $75 All Levels
Intro to Botanical Dyes

In this two-hour workshop led by instructor Keely Angel of Collective Hand Natural Dye Studio, you'll gain an understanding of how to work with natural dyes, including roots, flowers, bark, and even kitchen waste! We will explore immersion dyeing, making a dye vat to submerge your fabric, creating an even color across the fabric, and bundle dyeing, which involves layering materials onto the fabric to create a beautiful pattern and your own design. You will leave with the confidence to dye using these materials at home, as well as a hand dyed silk scarf and swatches of your creation.
Limited to 12 people
