Rust creates a textured focus and we will explore the many possibilities of layered surfaces through the techniques of rust printing, rust dyeing, rust and eco bundling, painting, tearing, layering, collaging, embellishing, and stitching.

At the end of the two days, you will have a collection of samples in paper, canvas and fabric using a variety of rusting print and dye techniques and layering techniques that can be applied to your own unique art journey and artworks.
