Here are some photo's from the lace knitting workshop at Unwind. Student shawls are still in progress and it's been fun to see how different yarns are knitting up with the same pattern. On the first day we began by knitting mini samples of the shawlette so the students were able to sample all the different techniques right off the bat, including seeing how the shawlette pattern progresses and takes shape. Above is Kim's sample in mohair. Isn't it cute?

Indigo Dyeing Participants will leave the workshop with the knowledge AND materials/supplies to begin their own in-home indigo vat. We will also be exploring the fascinating Japanese art of shibori which will achieve beautiful texture and design on your indigo-dyed cloth. Three silk scarves are provided, but students can bring their own silk, cotton or wool fabric/clothing to the workshop to be dyed.* It's a one day workshop on Saturday August 18th $75 plus $40 for the supplies which includes products for your own at-home indigo vat and 3 silk scarves. Additional silk scarves will be available to purchase at the workshop for $7 each. Call Unwind to sign up 604 886 1418 *we will try, but It is not guaranteed that we will have enough time or dye to dye all the extra fibre you bring. Please wash your fabric/clothing before the workshop to prep it for dyeing. |
