THE VENUE

The Creator Incubator is where creativity happens. A thriving shed full of artist studios located in eclectic Hamilton, Newcastle. Join us for a workshop and make sure you leave time to visit the gallery and take a wander through studios while you're here!

ABOUT YOUR TUTOR

Discover nature's colour pallet in our natural textile dying workshop. You'll learn how to select and prepare textiles for dying, how to harvest dye plant materials (wattle, eucalyptus, elder flower...) & use commercially prepared dyes (madder, saffron, logwood). Then it's time for you to embrace your creativity and put colour to cloth under the guidance of an experienced textile artist. Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist technique that results in beautiful designs on textiles. You’ll explore the possibilities of tying, clamping and more as an introduction to Shibori. During this half day course you'll produce a range of samples & a scarf to take home to begin your journey into natural textile dying.
