Printing, Dyeing, and Sculpting with Rust!
with Jamie Weinfurter
Tuesday July 7 & Wednesday July 8, 5:30-8:30p
at the IC Press Co-op (225 N. Gilbert)
sliding scale: $35-160
Have you always loved the color of rust or wanted to repeat the patterns created by oxidizing the iron in metals? In this 2-day workshop, participants will learn how to transform rusty, ferrous metals into designs for printing and dyeing paper and fabric. No experience with printing or working with metals is necessary! On Day 1, participants will create configurations with ferrous metals and learn how to quickly rust them to print and/or dye paper and fabric. Day 2 will focus on turning the paper and fabric into collages, patches, and mixed media sculptures! All materials are included. Found metals, like screws, chicken wire, car parts, etc., are encouraged to bring for experimentation!
Open to ages 14+.
Registration deadline: June 29
