I could tell 2018 was going to be a busy year when it started off with a full class at Sturt Summer School. I had a great bunch of students, some of whom had never done any textile dyeing before, so I was really happy with the outcomes, and they were happy to learn all about printing with mordants.

| Happy smiles all round! the Mordant Printing Class of 2018 at Sturt. |
Since then I have been contacted by several Textile groups in various parts of Australia for some private workshops and I have finally (!) put some of my own workshops up on my website.
 |
| Organic indigo vat and resist printing and intro to shibori workshop |
First cab off the rank will be an organic
indigo and resist printing workshop 24th and 25th February - more information can be found
here
 |
| Explore the local area, forage for dye plants that reflect the terrain |
On 11 & 12 August a new workshop entitled
"Local Colour & Dye" will combine foraging for plant materials and using scraps from the kitchen to create wonderful complex colours. Click
here for more information.
 |
Learn how to print with mordants to achieve a variety of colours and tones in
the one natural dyebath. |
And lastly, the ever-popular
Introduction to Mordant Printing workshop will take place on 8 & 9 September. More information
here.
I will be overseas in the middle of the year undertaking two arts residencies - more about that exciting news closer to the time!
I hope you make 2018 a year to explore your creativity and connect with like-minded people who share your passion for textiles!
Best wishes
Julie
