Discover the ancient art of combining plant tannins and iron to create a permanent ink for painting on fabrics. In this 2.5-hour class, you’ll be guided through the entire process- starting with making an iron ink, sketching out ideas, painting your own bag or wall hanging, and finishing by curing your design in a cauldron of plant tannins. Whether you choose to paint symbols of alchemy, zodiac, talismans, or other meaningful images, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation and the skills to continue the craft at home. All supplies are provided, including hand-sewn bags and wall hangings from up-cycled cotton by your instructor Leah Rich of Round Trip Goods.
