Warp & Weft Dye Co. Indigo Class

This is an intro Indigo Shibori dye class from 12-4pm on Sunday, May 15. The class teaches the basic fundamentals of Shibori dye resist techniques and their interactions with indigo dye. Students often find themselves exploring more technical and challenging techniques as the class unfolds.

Snacks, drinks (water, mimosas, and juices), and great tunes will be provided.

Class will be held at Great Over Good gallery space in Santa Ana, Ca. Exact address will be emailed upon reservation. Seats cannot be held as space is limited so apply now!

Thursday nights in June here at Great Over Good included Kim’s Watercolor Workshops in 4 different specialities: Fruits and Flowers, Fashion Illustration, Hand-lettering, and Wine and Watercolor. While each workshop was unique and geared toward the subject, they were all informational and most importantly incredibly fun!

Teaching different brush techniques and composition tactics, Kim kept the workshops approachable for students of all levels. She also taught both realistic approaches and more abstract and whimsical ones so each student could work with their own style.
