Ever wanted to watch your artwork magically appear before your eyes? In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover the alchemy of ferrous solution mark-making, an enchanting textile technique where patterns and lines dramatically darken and reveal themselves right on the cloth as the iron reacts with natural tannins.

You'll leave with two stunning 28" x 28" cotton pieces created entirely by hand, using a mix of printing techniques and freehand painting on specially tannin-prepared 100% cotton cloth. Whether you lean toward bold graphic patterns or flowing organic lines, this process rewards every creative instinct.
