Advance Notice of an exciting workshop coming to Jamberoo in August.In this exciting two-day workshop we will explore the basic techniques of Natural Dyeing*. Each participant will create at least one beautiful pure silk scarf, coloured and patterned in collaboration with nature. In the process we will discover which plants and vegetables produce the best colour and how to fix them.
We will employ a
variety of Shibori* techniques to create
extraordinary patterns and texture. The unique piece you create will reflect
the colours and textures of our landscape in your own way. You will be
delighted and proud to wear it.
Deborah Clarke has been investigating and teaching natural
dyeing for the past eight years. She runs Creative Camps in Central Australia
where the natural dyeing process is a favourite activity. People enjoy her engaging and informative
teaching style. The information she provides inspires participants to continue
the learning process on their own with confidence.
•Natural Dyeing or ‘Eco dyeing as it is sometimes called,
uses plant and vegetable material as the fabric dye. Beautiful colours are best
achieved on silk, wool and wool/silk mix.
•Shibori is a Japanese term referring to many different ways
of creating pattern and texture on fabric, using the process of resist, by
wrapping, tying, twisting, bundling or stitching the fabric.
