Many of you may know Lisa.
Her classes on embroidery and beading on fabric have been very popular at QSDS
over the years. This summer, she will return to QSDS during the second week
(Session 3 & 4).
Lisa’s five-day class during Session 3 is “Botanical Printing & Dyeing.
This is a very hot topic right now!
She will guide you through two major techniques: 1. dyeing cloth with natural materials
such as logwood, madder and cochineal.
2. Then you will experiment with printing leaves and flowers, which works beautifully on a range of fabrics. What a delightful surprise, to undo each little bundle and discover
the colors and patterns inside!
Let’s face it, do you really want to try to gather the supplies and learn all this on your own at home? Heck no! Spend five days with Lisa, who will bring all the correct supplies and equipment. She knows all about the mordants and the way different plant materials react.

Lisa stays for the final weekend of QSDS to teach “Hand Stitching on Hand-Dyed & Printed Fabric.” Do you have a beautiful fabric that has you stumped? Is it a piece of shibori or maybe some colorful dye-painted cotton? Lisa will get you stitching and understanding how to respond to the patterning. It will be a relaxing and creative class. In fact, why not consider spending the whole week with Lisa? It’s a chance to start stitching on those newly dyed and printed fabrics.
