Painting Fabric With Natural Dyes For A Child + Adult Working Together with Annick Akanni
A fun class for kids and adults to do together! Join Annick Akanni for an exploratory day out in the FAC grounds, foraging natural materials and everyday materials to turn into dyes with Annick's guidance, and learning how to paint onto paper and fabric with these dyes in our Silkscreen studio.
A great introduction to the natural dyes in the world around us, and simple painting techniques and processes that you can replicate at home!
