Scratching The Surface - Make Inks for Surface Designs on Textiles

Learn basic surface design for textiles and take it to a whole new level with instructor Grace McFetters Caldwell while you also learn to make our own inks from pigments saved from last session! Learn to screen print and block print onto textiles while also taking dried pigments created from the left over natural dyes of last session to create the inks and dyes used to make your permanent markings. Our final projects will be on textiles that the students will decide how to finish, either into a wall-hanging piece or a pillow.
