Painting and Printing with Plant-Based Colour (13/2/27)
$178.00
Move beyond the dye pot — learn to paint, print, and resist your way to fabric that's entirely your own design.
WHEN: Saturday 13th February, 10:00am - 6:00pm. Lunch included.
WHERE: Papahoa Fibreworks HQ, 78 Buchan Street, Sydenham, Chch
This workshop takes you into the more painterly side of natural dye. You'll learn to make and print your own colour pastes, apply mordant pastes to create resist patterns, and paint directly onto fabric to build unique, considered designs — rather than leaving pattern to chance.
Along the way, you'll work with tannins, modifiers, and immersion baths alongside these techniques, layering methods to pull out a genuinely wide range of patterns and effects from plant-based colour alone.
By the end, you'll have a working toolkit of techniques — not just a piece of fabric, but a repertoire you can keep combining in new ways at home.
