The intensive workshop-style format of this class gives students a sampling of various resist-dyeing techniques. Shibori (Japanese bound resist), Batik (Indonesian wax resist), and starch based resist techniques will be explored. Techniques include immersion dyeing, painting with dyes, and extracting color from cloth with bleach solutions. Assignments stress creative uses of traditional resist dyeing techniques while exploring a diverse range of personal narratives. Slide lectures, field-trips, and class critiques support hands-on work.
