Julie will teach everyone about the lake making process which is a great way to extract pigment from dye baths, and convert the pigment into a solution for painting and printing. Learn the process of making inks along with techniques for storing and using the pigment. Play with mixing pigments into paints by exploring different ways to mix, bind and apply the pigment with natural materials. We will test out our inks and paints on paper and fiber and experiment with modifiers to shift the colors.

Lunch will be provided to everyone and students should plan to bring their own beverage/water bottle, a couple pint size jars to take home a lake along with a couple small bottles or jars to take home ink.
