Students will learn the basic process of harvesting plants from the garden or from  meanderings through the woods and imprinting nature onto paper and cloth.  Learn how to bundle and wrap papers and the possibilities of what can be done with that paper and cloth.  \nThis two-day class will cover foraging for materials and choosing dye plants from the Sanborn Mills dye garden. On the first day\, students will learn how  to transfer the natural images to primary paper and some cotton cloth will also be used.  \nOn the second day\, students will use the dyed papers to create a unique book. The class will spend some time learning basic bookbinding skills and simple structures.

Students will also learn about the cultivation and processing of this historically important natural material. Our baskets will be built from a round base with weaves mostly in the European tradition\, including pairing\, waling\, randing and woven borders. Every student’s basket will be different! This class is suitable for beginners wanting to learn a base of weaving knowledge or intermediate weavers looking to improve skills and control.

Students will explore the vessel form through experimentation and invention. \nOn the first\, day\, students will explore the technique of creating sculptural wet felted vessels. Through wet felting techniques\, students will learn to create a sphere or round form and transform it into a vessel\, pod or bowl. Using the ancient process of wet felting\, wool can be transformed into many things. Our focus will be creating a 3D form using a flat circle or oval resist. We will create a using wool roving\, soap and water\, and a resist. This class is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous felt making experience. \nOn the second day\, students will explore the technique of random weaving. It’s not your traditional basket weaving! We will be experimenting with non-traditional techniques to create sculptural forms\, using various material from paper rush to plant material. Student swill be encouraged to use whatever material is suitable to create the desired form\, ex: bowls\, bag of rice\, crumpled paper bound with sticky tape. This is a workshop for those who like exploration and invention. This technique is mostly used to explore form and the unique qualities of the materials used. What you envision in the beginning may not be what comes to fruition but it will be a fun\, meditative process that can open up new ideas and avenues. Embellishment can include yarns\, raffia and colored electrical wire. We will start small and if time permits\, students may choose to start another piece. Everyone will leave with a woven sculptural form\, the skills to create more work in the future\, and the inspiration to explore. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Skills + Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n Students will learn: \n \n \n \n \n \n Wet felted Vessels \n\nBasic wet felting techniques\nHow to layout fibers\nUsing a resist learn to take a flat surface and turn it into a 3D form\nHeal a cut edge\nSurface design/embellisment\nResources for wet felting and sculptural fiber\n\nRandom Weaving \n\nExploration of fiber to create sculptural forms\nMould making for form/vessel making\nCreate a framwork for support of the weaving\nSurface Design\nResources for Random weave and explorations in fiber\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Instructor\n \n \n \n \n \n Dayna Talbot \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tools + Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n Students should bring: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n2 old towels\nQuart container or small bucket\nA pair of small\, sharp scissors\nWaterproof bag for carrying wet towels home\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Material Fee: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n$20.00 – $40.00 paid at time of workshop\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COVID-19 \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.

This series of 5 classes are an introduction to the colorful world of natural dyes. Each class stands alone — take one or take them all! Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nThis is truly a class about color! In this workshop\, students will dye yarn as skeins or in wound warps for weaving. Students use immersion baths to dye the fiber all one color and make dyes into thickened paints for painting skeins and warps different colors. It is rare\, in introductory dye classes\, to ever get to the stage of mixing colors and inventing new combinations. In this workshop\, students will explore this process\, both in the dye baths and for the paints. At the time of the workshop\, plants will be ready to use for dyeing from the Sanborn Mills Farm dye garden. Students will also use concentrated dye extracts to make into stock solutions for mixing paints. An indigo vat will be available for over-dyeing the mordant dye colors to get deep purples\, greens and browns. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Skills + Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n Students will learn: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFiber preparation: scouring for cellulose and protein\nPreparing skeins and warps for dyeing with proper tying\nMordanting with alum and iron\nMaking stock solutions from concentrated dye extracts\nUsing dye extracts in immersion baths and as thickened paints\nPainting\, or space dyeing\, skeins and warps with different colors\nSteaming the painted yarn to fix the dye\nUsing fresh and dried plant materials from the dye garden in immersion baths\nOver-dyeing with indigo to achieve purples\, greens and browns\nShifting colors by modifying ph and using iron post-baths\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Instructor\n \n \n \n \n \n Sara Goodman \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tools + Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n Students should bring: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAll materials will be provided.

Each class will include the basics of proper fiber preparation as well as an orientation to the studio’s procedures and practices. \nIn this workshop\, students will learn to use foraged wild materials for use in the dye pot. On the first day of class\, students will learn the proper fiber preparation and mordanting for cellulose and protein fibers with both alum and iron. Protein (yarn) and cloth samples will be dyed in these baths. The class will then go outdoors to collect dye materials. At this time of year there\, there will be many materials available for collection. Students will collect leaves from trees\, nuts\, bark\, wildflowers\, roots and lichen. The class will then return to the studio with their collected dye treasures to photograph\, identify\, and prepare the material for dyeing. Most collected material will require an overnight soak before being made into a bath. Possibilities for modifying colors by changing pH\, adding iron\, and over-dyeing with indigo will be explored. \nStudents should be prepared to walk the grounds of Sanborn Mills Farm\, including woods paths\, trails\, and fields.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Skills + Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n Students will learn: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFiber preparation: scouring for cellulose and protein\nIdentifying dye materials in the field\nExploring\, collecting\, and processing foraged dye material\nMordanting with alum and iron\nMaking samples of dye colors on different fibers for record keeping\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Instructor\n \n \n \n \n \n Sara Goodman \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tools + Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n Students should bring: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nStudents should dress and prepare for walking outside in the woods\, trails\, and fields\nGardening gloves and clippers\nStudents are welcome to bring dye stuffs with them that they have collected on their own for the group to try\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Material Fee: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n$50 includes fabric for samples\, all dyes and assists\, notebook of recipes and instructions paid at time of workshop\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COVID-19 \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.
