The Craft Alliance partners with Laumeier to present a natural dyeing fibers workshop taught by artist and educator, Cathy McBride. In this workshop, you will learn a Japanese technique called Shibori, a process of embellishing textiles. Learn how to manipulate and create pattern by using indigo dyes on beautiful, muslin fabric. Create an amazing table runner, a set of cloth napkins, a wall hanging, or a wearable shawl! Class includes muslin fabric and natural dyes.
