Patterns and color depth will be explored by using various folding and tying methods prior to applying dye.

Blank white scarves are wrapped and tied around bottles prior to dyeing. Students will explore pattern layering and color depth by wrapping and dyeing the scarf multiple times. Silk Papermaking Using Tussah “wild” silk and textile medium, participants will create sheets of silk paper. Once dried, these sheets can be stitched, used for collage, layering or embellishment.
