Identifying and Dating Historic Everyday Textiles
June 22-23
Instructor: Rabbit Goody
How do we know what we know about woven fabrics and the weavers who wove them? This workshop will teach you how to look at and evaluate flat woven textiles from the 18th and 19th century. Microscopic analysis of fibers, yarn types, weave structures and who was weaving what and when will be explored.

Rozome Intensive: Japanese Batik on Silk
June 26-30
Instructor: Kiranada Benjamin
Using non-petroleum soy-wax and natural beeswax, we will explore the Rozome Masters’ batik techniques. Informed by historic Japanese rozome-batik and its 1,200-year history, we will explore the actual techniques that have produced the stunning Japanese folding screens and kimono of the 20th / 21st century. We will examine the textural and pattern possibilities of more than 10 different wax application techniques, including rokata (wax stencil), ro-etching (wax etching), ro-fubuki (wax snowstorm), ro-roller (rolled wax pattern), momo-otoshi (rub and remove), and shikibiki (wax trailing). The bokashi (ombre) shading technique and two other additional dye-application styles will be included as well as the direct-application yardage dyeing that uses the sansei-senryo, non-toxic dyes of the kimono industry.
