To turn our dyed fabric into successful art-cloths we will be layering designs by adding paint, print and stitch. (Along with our work on fabric this is your chance to dye just the right colour thread to go with your art cloth). Development of your own design will create a unique art-cloth: a thing of beauty all on its own or the start of an amazing quilt.

All dyes and chemicals required will be provided for this workshop. There will be a lab fee for this course.
