Learn several ways to mordant cellulose fibers, with intensive explorations of tannins. We will scour and mordant on the first day, allow the alum treated fabric to cure for a week, then treat in tannin before soaking again in alum. In addition to alum, we will mordant with aluminum acetate, aluminum triformate, and symplocos. We will not dye in class; students will take home fabric ready to dye.
