Want to learn surface design techniques!


I love teaching people about color, dyeing and felting! Join me at either 212 Art Center in Saline, MI, or the Ann Arbor Art Center in Ann Arbor, MI for an afternoon or evening of creativity! Click on the links below to view class schedules. Class descriptions below.

Two Twelve Arts Center | Ann Arbor Art Center

Batik
Learn the Southeast Asian art of batik using environmentally safe soy wax!

Nuno Felted Silk Scarf
Create a wonderful scarf by felting merino wool to fabric! Start with an 18” x 72” pre-dyed silk scarf.

Silk Scarf Dyeing or Having Fun with Color
Learn basic dyeing techniques using pre-mixed Procion H dyes. Patterns and color depth will be explored by using various folding and tying methods prior to applying dye.

Shibori Silk Scarf Dyeing or More Fun with Color
Students will learn the shibori pole wrapping technique “arashi” by using wine bottles. 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.
