Plants and Colours: A botanical dyeing and printing journey
Natalie Grambow, July 5-6, 10am-4pm
Tuition: $230/$280 (MEM/NON) max 10 students (includes all materials)
Are you a creative teen looking for a deeper dive into new ways of making art alongside a master teacher? Does working with textiles excite you? Does hearing that flowers and plants can be artistic tools sound like alchemical magic? Would you like to have a chance to make art alongside your peers in a professional studio?
Then this is the right opportunity for you!
Step into the colourful and natural world of plants, and discover how leaves, flowers and roots can become your art supplies to create beautiful colour palettes on paper and fabric. In this creative art intensive, teens will:
- Learn how to extract colours from plants to create beautiful prints (eco/botanical printing)
- Investigate the colourful world hidden in the plants around us
- Play with natural dyes and try out shibori (tie-dye) resist dyeing methods
Explore the magic of botanical patterns, prints and colours
This camp is all about creative exploration with a mix of science, sustainability, art and self-expression. Each participant will take home several samples of different dye and print techniques on cloth and paper, as well as one finished piece.
