Dyelab - Layer on Layer Design by Jorie Johnson

Wat gaan we doen

Jorie Johnson enjoys designing, producing and wearing her unique handmade woolen felt creations. Introduced to the traditional textile technique in Finland, in 1977, by learning to make Scandinavian felt boots, Jorie was immediately enchanted by the magic and power of felting. In this masterclass we are going to design fabrics with a kind of 'lazy'-shibori', sumi-ink and persimmompaper and chemical dyes. The dyed silks will be used to design your feltwork for a skirt, scarf or walhanging. This workshop is not only for feltmakers but also papermakers because the Sumi, and Persimmon tannin and wool with paper is over the top! This will be a very esoteric class
