$150 members, $185 non-members (includes most consumables)

This will be an intensive, fun-filled, two day workshop where we will explore the principles of Jane Dunnewold’s 'Complex Cloth'. It is all about the considered use of colour, design elements and scale to develop a layering of imagery. By working with contrast and relationship, we aim to create an integrated and pleasing surface. Processes covered in the workshop will include Shibori techniques and dyeing, over-dyeing, various stamping, stencilling, screen printing applications and discharge. You will work on sample pieces (about 6-8) approx 45x45cm with the aim to complete a number of processes on each sample.
