September 4-5, 2008 Vat Dyes and Colored Discharge: Print Processes Elin Noble
Workshop description: This hands-on workshop focuses on the magic inherent in a little used class of dyes known as vat dyes. The process begins with laying a ground color on cloth - cotton, linen, rayon and/or silk; then work pattern and color on top of the ground color with vat dyes. The interaction of these two dyes produce the characteristic halo as you strip out one color (the reactive dye) while laying down another color (the vat dye) in its place. Explore this exciting phenomenon using print processes: stamping, stenciling, monoprinting, screen printing, and hand painting. Emphasis is on fundamentals, experimentation, and laughter. We’ll round out the class with safety, color mixing, and fabric selection and preparation. This is a rare opportunity to print with vat dyes, don’t miss it.
