Textile artist Aymee Charlton will guide participants on how to use easily accessible botanical colours to create beautiful, dyed silk ribbon and cotton fabric for the upcoming gift-giving season.
Participants will experiment with various botanicals to see how they interact on silk and cotton. Then, create beautiful prints alongside leaf printing. Once the fabrics are set and dry, you will be introduced to traditional Japanese wrapping, known as Furoshiki, using our newly decorated fabric and ribbon.
Aymee is a textile artist from Aberdeen and a Gray's School of Art alumna. She enjoys working with botanicals to apply print and pattern on silk and other natural materials. Her art practice embodies the idea of ‘care’, in both artwork and products created.
