This daylong workshop will explore easy and artful ways to apply dye to scarves. From simple techniques such as tie-dyeing, resist and salt, to interesting mark-making techniques, the class will modernize this ancient art form. Participants will look at examples of mid-century textile designers and also be inspired by the wonderful art and nature surrounding at Lynden. Each student will create three wearable and uniquely painted scarves. No experience required, and all materials supplied. Remember: using dyes can be messy.  you will be supplied with an apron, but please wear clothes that you don't mind getting stained. Bring a bag lunch and beverages and dress for the outdoors.
