Fabric dyeing and resist methods are addressed, including drawing and stamping with waxes, stitching and binding with threads, etc. Students acquire a broader sense of “mark-making,” an understanding of the special color properties of dyes, and an ability to use non-Western traditional craft methods to create contemporary art fabric.
