Discover the alluring interplay of earthy colours and textures of rust and the luscious dark tones of tannins.

These two elements have played a central role in my practice as a textile and visual artist. I'm excited to show you how versatile rust and tannin applications can be. In this workshop you will learn:

What is rust and tannin and how do they interact with each other
