Arounna Khounnoraj – @bookhou teaches Clay Resist with Indigo Overdye
Join Arounna in this one-day workshop working with thickened clay and indigo overdye to make patterned designs. This is a wonderful way to incorporate free-form brush designs into your work or use stamps or blocks for an allover design.
