Seaweed Marbling
Marbling takes its name from the way designs on marbled fabric can resemble the veins and ripples in marble stone. A seaweed extract called carrageenan is used to create a thick syrupy water that the paint is floated on. Thus, the name, “seaweed marbling.”

In this workshop, students use various objects such as forks, chopsticks, toothpicks or corn holders to create their own design in the floating paint, then make their print by placing fabric on the paint-covered surface of the water. We will print on both fabric and paper.

Tie Dye Day...March 19 !

When a piece of clothing gets worn or stained and seems to be ruined what do you do? My answer is to tie dye it! My family teases me now that if there is a problem my solution no matter the challenge is to dye it!

Now here is your chance to test the theory. Bring your gently used or new cotton (natural materials work...cotton is best) to my class "Tie Dye Day" and create something colorful and new. Details are below!

Tie Dye Day
I’ll provide the dye and equipment; you bring items you want to transform. We’ll spend the morning folding, twisting, tying and dyeing to create colorful accents for your apparel or home. Possible items to dye: cotton t-shirts, scarves, tote bags, table runners… any natural fabric.
Older children with an adult, teens and adults are welcome.
