Flower Magic

Flower Magic 

SUNDAY, OCT 24 

1:30 – 3:30 pm

Experience the wonders of nature’s palette this fall at the AG! At this in-person class you will learn to use both dried and fresh flowers to dye your very own silk scarf using the bundle dye technique. Textile artist Sister Mollusk (Shannon Bateman) will walk you through the process of creating lovely abstract patterns on cloth using flowers. Participants will receive a pre-mordanted silk scarf and flower kit to create a unique design of their own. This 2-hour workshop will include a half hour waiting period while the bundles are in the dye pot, during which you can ask questions or take a break.

Don’t delay, register today, registration is limited to 8 participants.

Participant kits will be provided at the workshop. Please wear clothing you don’t mind getting messy, or an apron!

Note: All workshop participants must show proof of identification and proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with limited exceptions, as per the rules set out by the Ministry of Health.

Sister Mollusk’s naturally dyed textiles are meant to spark curiosity for the natural world. She collects dyes from the flowered fields, shadowed forests, and weed-lined roadways to create whimsical, one-of-a-kind pieces. Drawing on traditional techniques and continuous experimentation, her practice is rooted in sustainability and the creative re-imagining of local materials.
