Woad - The European Blue • August 30, 31, September 1, 2010
Instructor: Michele Wipplinger

|
|
Woad is the natural blue dye that is native to Europe and the British Isles. It produces a particularly beautiful blue that is precious, mysterious and amazing.
Join us in exploring this delicate, historical color. Participants will create a color palette from a variety of yarns and fabrics and scarves with natural dyes
and then over dye them in woad. The resultant color changes are rich and intriguing and surprising effects can be obtained with this method. Participants will
receive a comprehensive notebook with examples, illustrations and full instructions on making and balancing your own woad vat. History, revitalization and
contemporary uses of this ancient and beautiful European Blue will be covered in lecture.
$415 including material fee and comprehensive notebook
