1:00 pm to Sunset
Weather permitting – we will be outdoors but under a carport
At 1 pm we’ll have a demonstration of the silk dye process from start to finish, followed by open time at the dye tables where you can create whatever you like. Experience flag makers will be on hand to answer questions and offer suggestions. Additional demonstrations of more advanced techniques will occur later in the day for those who wish to create more sets.
Cost: $20 for silk and dyes for a set of flags (or 2 sets of flag poi).
Preparation: Just bring your imagination and wear comfortable clothes that might get a little stained. We’ll be outdoors but under a carport and shielded from the wind.
Sewing a set of flags isn’t that difficult, but knowing where to put the cords and how to sew them in place without breaking a lot of needles can be challenging.
Mandalas are a wonderful starting point for flag designs. When the flags are flown, their radial symmetry becomes a dazzling kinetic kaleidoscope. For those who might prefer a name with less reach into the cosmos, it is also known as the “paper airplane fold.”
