Discover the magic of printing with mordants in conjunction with a range of natural dyes. Mordant printing is a centuries old process whereby different colours can be obtained on your cloth from just one natural dyebath.
The mordant printing process has been specifically targeted towards the colouration of cellulose fibres and fabrics - cotton, linen, hemp, rayon, ramie etc. Many natural dyers find the cellulose fibres hardest to achieve strong colour, and this workshop will enable you to work with these fibres with confidence.
This class will focus on several safe mordants as well as different printing and stamping processes, including screen printing techniques. Students will learn the difference between fast dyes, fugitive dyes and 'stains', and find out how the most fast colours can be obtained utilising both local and imported dyestuffs.
We explore different strengths of mordants, in order to achieve a range of colours and tones from the one dye bath. Cloths can then be re-mordanted and dyed in another dyebath to achieve secondary and tertiary hues. Post mordant printing will also be demystified.
This workshop is suitable for those wishing to extend beyond immersion dyeing to printing. It is suitable for all levels, from relative beginners to the very experienced, as participants can determine how to incorporate the Mordant Printing methods in their own practice.
Material fee: approx. $45
