Freedom of Movement Pants Workshop

In 1979, Richard Tuttle worked in collaboration with FWM to create Pants, a small edition of costumes for the Pennsylvania Ballet. With their exaggerated length and electric zig-zag pattern, they capture the energy of forward motion while defying traditional utility.

In this two-day workshop, explore the dynamic process of hand-painting with fiber-reactive dye (cold water dyes that are fixed chemically rather than with heat). Then learn to sew your own pair of loose flowing pants!
