Cloth Fiber Workshop: Permanent Pleats + Color on Cloth

May 26 at  Cloth Fiber Workshop122 Riverside Drive, Studio D in  Asheville, NC -  Permanent Pleats + Color on Cloth with Amy Putansu. Permanently pleat, crease, and manipulate fabrics by heating and reshaping fibers. You will also apply color in the same step, using specially formulated dyes. The technique is appropriate for synthetic fibers. The dyes are called Disperse, are readily available online, and require no additional chemicals.

You'll shape and dye a series of samples, and then create up to 3 scarves, depending on complexity. There will be discussion about how and why this process works, as well as resources for using this technique at home. For more ideas, look at clothing designer Issey Miyake, or textile designer Junichi Arai. Fee: $85 + materials fee.

For the complete summer/fall schedule and workshop materials lists and fees, please see the Class Description page on our website.

To register for workshops call 828.505.2958; stop by the studio, Mon-Sat, 10 am - 4 pm, or register online.
