Eco-Dye & printing Class

Join artist Debbie Jircik (back by popular demand!) for this exploration into dyeing and printing on silk.  Using Natural Materials, gathered from the wild, each student will print & dye their own silk scarf.  Each one a unique work of art!

Saturday, February 10     10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.    $45.00     Adults & Teens

All materials supplied.  No experience necessary.

Join artist, Debbie Jircik and explore natural components for dyeing and printing.  Each student will create a naturally dyed silk scarf and other items.

Discover plant materials cultivated, gathered from the wild, and remnants from the farmers market/produce aisle that create color as we experience dyeing on silk.   Think in terms of muted earthy tones in a range of colors.  Using a contact printing method, experiment with pattern made by leaves.  Leave the class with an eco-printed and dyed silk scarf and some sampler swatches of silk to use as a reference or in other projects, a resource guide and enough knowledge to continue experimenting on your own.  All levels welcome!

Eagle River, clay & paper artist, gardener, & food advocate – Debbie Jircik, will share her passions for working with natural & environmentally friendly materials with LOLA students.

Dress for fun mess!
