with Aubrey jo Blue
**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**
For Ages 14+ (Those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult)
Improvisation and creativity are at the forefront of this class, featuring both printmaking and the fiber arts. Print & Patch students will learn different methods of textile surface design, carve their own printmaking blocks, naturally dye fabrics with indigo, and print patterned fabric.
In the latter part of this 8-week class, classmates are invited to share the fabric they created with each other, as they begin construction of a patchwork or mini-quilt project which can take any shape. Participants will take home handmade creations that celebrate community and the renewable spirit of patchwork.
This class is well suited for those without previous print or textile experience, as well as makers with knowledge of some or both methods looking for a new way to approach fiber arts. All materials and tools are provided for participants, including printmaking blocks, fabric, indigo dye, and sewing tools.

B434 Ice Dyeing
with Holly Cole
**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**
For Ages 16+
Join Teaching Artist and current Dairy Barn exhibitor, Holly Cole, for this one-day dyeing adventure! In this workshop, students will explore the technique of Ice dyeing- a process that’s a sure-fire way to encourage dye colors to “split”, yielding a beautiful range of color on cloth.
During the Process of Ice dyeing, ice is placed on top of fabric, and dye is sprinkled over the ice; as the ice melts, the dye dissolves and spreads across the fabric, creating a marbled, speckled, or watercolor effect. A range of spectacular patterns and effects are achieved through compressing fabric in different ways.
Whether you clamp, tie, wrap, crumple, or fold, you’ll marvel at the results!
