We’re thrilled to present our inaugural natural dyeing series taught by accomplished, local, textile artist, Faye Jacobs. Part I takes place over two full Saturdays in October. Faye will lead participants through the use of 4 food-based natural dyes and their effects on paper, silk and lace, and the production of a beautiful book of personalized samples to keep either as a reference, or as a completed art piece in and of itself. The special qualities of handmade rag and kuzu papers for writing personal thoughts and poetry will also be explored throughout the workshop. Maximum 6 participants.

Parts I and II in this series are perfect companions, and can also be enjoyed independently of one another.

Saturdays, Oct 12 and 26, 10am-4pm

$250 + HST

Light lunch and refreshments included.
