Join artist and educator Kenya Miles to discover the myriad of possibilities with natural dyes + image making. Explore the process and possibilities of print making with mordants on fabric, utilizing mordant paste. Mordants are essential in allowing plant matter to bond to fibers. Once mordants have been painted/stamped onto fabric, pieces will be immersed in a natural dye vat. By localizing the mordants using thickened pastes, natural dyes will directly color the areas in which the pastes are stamped or painted. By directly applying a variety of mordants to natural fibers, participants will create rich, one-of-a-kind, multi-toned imagery.
