Do you love vegetables and textiles? Lets learn more about both and make some art!

Which workshop topics interest you most? 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

Aline Dargie teaches private and group lessons in all of these topics and we are trying to decide which ones to offer up next at Make Hang.

1) Lacto ferment vegetables to culture edible probiotic potions and concentrated natural fabric dyes and paint.

2) Solar dye silk in jars with anaerobic kitchen compost.

3) Discover the mad science behind naturally dyeing silk with vegetables.

4) Fold found flowers and fallen leaves in silk, transfer their colors into cloth using steam.

5) Bicycle Shibori: bind, clamp, fold and sculpturally knot up silk using upcycled bicycle parts to resist dye.

&&& If you are interested in scheduling a group or private workshop in any of these topics, let me know and we will make it hang! Rates start at $90 per person, for 3 or more people, for a 3 hour workshop, materials included.
