Marigold Three Ways

Marigolds are blooming right now and they lend a gorgeous yellow color. We will work with pre-mordanted fibers to assure the color can have a longer life. We will work with fresh marigolds 3 ways:

~ Hapezome - Japanese leaf and flower pounding for a rich, deep water color effect.
~ eco-printing with marigolds: make designs with whole flower or individual petals.
Let’s get sunshiny! 🤩🏵️☀️
We will have muslin to experiment on and squares of cotton for your final project. Feel free to bring a pre-washed, natural fiber (cotton, hemp, silk, wool, etc.) small item from home!
