Description
Learn two
fabric arts. Walk away with two killer take-home projects.
Join us and Columbus’ coolest screen printing artist, Alison Rose,
for a class in textile art. You’ll learn two fabric manipulation techniques – shibori
and screen printing – and each includes an awesome project you can finish and
take home that night!
Scarf shibori
dyeing with Kelli Martin and Rachel Murdock of Alternative Fashion Mob
In this traditional Japanese fabric dyeing technique, you fold your
fabric and bind it, before submerging it in indigo. It’s kind of like origami meets
dip dyeing – and it results in you making a seriously beautiful textile. Included
with the class is a scarf you’ll fold, dye, and take home – and then later
receive tons of compliments on, and be like, “Oh, this old thing? I just made
it with my own hands.” (And eventually you’ll end up taking the skills you
learned with us and shibori dyeing pillow cases, cloth napkins, t-shirts… basically,
your house will look awesome, and you’ll never have to give a store-bought gift
ever again.)
T-shirt screen
printing with Alison Rose
If you’ve got a shirt that has a funny saying, an image, or a logo
on it – it was probably screen printed. It’s one of the most popular textile
arts ever, and it’s even more fun to do than you probably imagined. We’ll give you
a t-shirt, on which you’ll learn and practice the technique using one of Alison’s
killer designs. And then you’ll take that super-rad t-shirt home at the end of the
night, along with a knowledge of how to put your favorite saying on darn near
anything made out of fabric! (This is why we’re going to ask you to tell us
your t-shirt size when you check out, BTW.)
But wait, there's more!We’ll even provide some light snacks so you can mingle and chat
while your scarf soaks and your t-shirt dries. (Feel free to BYOB.)
It’ll be a whole night of awesomeness, and you’ll have two unique
items to take home.
