This series of workshops is presented in conjunction with the Innovations in Textiles 8 symposium. Between the months of August and November, over 20 local galleries and organizations are coming together to present work that explores the contemporary applications of fiber in artmaking. The galleries and organizations are presenting
exhibitions, lectures, workshops and artist talks. For more

Upcoming Nimble Fingers Series Workshops:
October 22nd, 2009- Crocheting with Ron Foreman and Corrine Horton
6:30 to 8:30 pm
We will be demonstrating single stitch and chain stitch crochet using a K Hook with Simply Soft Eco Medium Weight (#4) yarn to create asymmetrical scarves and winter hats. The asymmetrical scarves are done without pattern and are easy and simple to create using
approximately 3 skeins of yarn in two complimentary colors. The hats are simple single stitch using two skeins of yarn to create a blended
color look.
November 5th, 2009- Organic Dyeing with Erin Cork
6:30 to 8:30 pm
Explore the potential of the organic dyeing process on silk fabric. The organic dying processes that will be introduced provide a safe, nontoxic and sustainable way to apply color to fabric. Utilizing spices such as turmeric, food stuff such as onions, red cabbage and berries and naturally occurring processes such as rusting, a variety of hues and tones can be achieved. Students will have the opportunity to set the dying process in motion and after the workshop see the
results.
