Join a vibrant exploration of color, pattern, design, and composition at the High Museum in Atlanta with an engaging fabric dyeing workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to practice various techniques, including tie-dyeing and layer dyeing, while also carving custom stamps to create unique patterns that bring life and texture to textiles. Using the innovative ice-dyeing technique, they’ll achieve stunning watercolor-like effects as dyes bleed and merge, and delve into design with needle and thread through the tritik resist-dyeing method.
Week 1: The first session introduces participants to the class and provides an overview of the dyeing methods to be explored, emphasizing traditional tie-dyeing techniques to create captivating designs.
Week 2: In the second week, attendees will expand their skills by painting with dye, carving personalized stamps, and utilizing texture plates to enhance their textile designs.
Week 3: The third week is dedicated to experimenting with ice dyeing, enabling participants to produce layered and vibrant effects in their fabrics.
Week 4: The workshop concludes with the art of shibori, a Japanese resist-dyeing technique, where participants will learn to create intricate patterns. The final session will feature a class discussion and reflection on the array of techniques covered throughout the course, fostering a deeper appreciation for the art of textile dyeing.
