Create a unique, hand-dyed and printed scarf as a bespoke gift for a loved one! In this fun, experimental workshop, we’ll explore how to manipulate the fabric in the dye process to create beautiful organic and geometric patterns with natural dye. We’ll make personalized designs into stamps to add imagery to the scarf as a border, on the short ends, or as an all-over repeat-pattern with textile ink. This will be a fun way to create a personalized gift for the holidays.

Materials not provided. Supply list coming soon!

Color Theory helps create visually appealing and harmonious designs. It guides the use of colors to evoke emotion and communicate messages. Understanding concepts like the color wheel, contrasts, complementary colors, temperature and lightness and darkness of hue ensures effective design. Students will work from life as well as their imagination to sharpen their skills mixing, matching, and telling a story with their use of color.
