Four day workshop with Hollie Heller and Sharon Grosh
Discover new methods for creating images and markings for truly unique collage compositions.
Part One: We’ll start the workshop by exploring new ways to dyeing fabrics that Sharon will demonstrate.
• Eco-dyeing: A method of rolling pre-mordanted fabrics/paper, with plants high in tannin, wrapped in iron carriers with a blanket that is tied and steamed.
• Cyano-dyeing: This process involves create a light sensitive emulsion and applying it to paper or fabric. Make full use of the steady Costa Rican sun, we will be creating unique images from plants, flowers or stencils resulting in the most interesting images.
Part Two: Hollie will then guide you through the process of creating art using these materials with collage techniques.
