Come make sun-prints on fabric with the artist Liz Nielsen. This workshop will include hands-on experimentation with the archaic photographic mark-making process called the Photogram. It is easy and non-toxic.
Liz is a photographer whose own works are printed in the analog color darkroom with handmade negatives and found light sources. Meeting together at high noon, Liz will guide you through a process of making colorful works using the sun as a natural superpower!
Bring your ideas and an open mind. Come with a plan, or don’t, and we will make one.
Space for 15 people

Join Carolina Wheat for an intuitive and experimental workshop exploring historical Tie-dye techniques. You will explore the ancient manual resist–bind, fold and pleat technique of Japanese Shibori with classic indigo dyes.
Carolina studied textile surface design at the University of Michigan and got her MFA in Writing from SAIC. Having traveled extensively in Japan and Indonesia, Carolina brings to this workshop a broad history of textiles, including the narratives, symbolism and processes used in the Pan-Asiatic islands.
This workshop will guide you through a hands-on process from start to finish and you’ll walk away with a functional article of patterned surface design.
$35 per person (price includes TWO! scarves to dye)
