Bethany Garner, Tett Creativity Studio Artist, has been sharing her designs and cloth dye skills with students across Canada and the US for many years. Beth brings this TWO-DAY workshop to students at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning on January 21st and 22nd, 2023 in the Rehearsal Hall on the Second Level of this dynamic arts hub.

Fabric dyeing is a passion for many local artists, and we welcome newcomers to join us as the workshop days open opportunities for building a personal stash of beautiful, hand-designed OMBRE effects on cotton, linen, and silk cloth using the inspiration of samples shared by the instructor. Students will also have the opportunity to use thickened dyes for painting on their cloth.

The skills acquired will start newcomers on a path to creativity and learning as they start a new adventure in the workshop classroom. Seasoned arts students and beginners are welcome.

Students will bring their own cloth, pre-washed and dried, ready to dye as well as a plastic table cover and old towels for the floor. Containers to take wet cloth home are needed. Beth will have ready-to-dye white cotton lawn cloth by pre-order at least two weeks before the workshops - and available for students at the workshop at $12/mtr. paid to the instructor.

There are no workshop refunds, but if your plans change, you may offer your ticket to a friend or family member.

While the Tett Centre does not have a mask mandate required, we welcome you to join us with masks on if you like, as there may be close contact during the workshop. We will set up tables for safe distancing in the classroom. The two days of class run from Saturday, January 21 at 10 am through to January 22, 2023, Sunday at 5 pm.
