VB WORKSHOP 20+21 September 2022

We would like to warmly welcome you to participate in a very special workshop coming up this weekend at Echo Corre- spondence.

This Saturday and Sunday Echo transforms into a studio for learning under the expert hand of our Workshop leader Ugandan-born, UK-based artist Isaac Luutu, creative director of VILLAGEBOY (@villageboy256) for Echo Correspon- dence’s first ever weekend workshop.

Together with Villageboy, we will be looking at natural dyes and stencil/pattern making, designs and ultimately come together to enjoy and experiment over the weekend together.

Day I of the workshop revolves around natural dye preparation, scouring, colorfastness, picking designs and dying your own shirt.

Day II, the objective is to experiment with diverse stencil patterns and spraying techniques with the final option to shoot your garment in an on-site photo booth.

On both days, in the mornings you will be given a thorough introduction to various techniques that we will use throughout the day to get most out of the dyes with a focus on creativity and precision. The workshop is hands-on where you will be practicing the techniques under the guidance and supervision from Villageboy and on-site assistants and is accompanied by a playlist curated by Villageboy.
