About the Event
Cyanotype is not always blue! Using different kinds of teas, blue cyanotype prints can be changed into lovely shades from light yellow to darker browns and violets.
In this workshop, you will create blue cyanotype prints using botanicals and found objects and then experiment with different types of toners to make a range of beautiful colored fabrics. The fabric pieces can then be used for many sewing projects from stitching samplers, patches, quilting, or just meditative stitching. You will learn several simple stitches and leave with a sewing kit to continue your projects at home.
Class size is limited to 12. No sewing experience is necessary. Ages 12 and up.
Cost: $65 ( $10 discount for Ijams and A1Labarts members)
This workshop is sponsored by a generous grant from The East Tennessee Foundation.
