Dean Zoch is a Fiber Artist, Lapidist, Naturalist, and Educator. He has spent the last 6 years advocating for the importance of the arts into our education system. Always connecting art, science, and history into his workshops and residencies, Dean encourages students to take a hands-on approach to Fiber Arts helping to make the understanding of the science and history behind the vast legacy of textiles from animal skins to automation come alive. Each workshop or residency will incorporate multimedia and tactile lecture and fun, hands-on activities. In addition, the students get bragging rights, as they each get to keep their creations.

This is a 3-day residency designed to compliment the social studies/history modules of your particular grade level. Through multi-media presentation and hands on dyeing, students will explore the cultivation, preparation and uses of traditional dye stuffs from different cultures around the world and how they became a part of commerce as various trade routes opened up. If appropriate to the curriculum, we can also examine how some natural dye plants became cash crops for the antebellum south, and make connections to Carolina history both in the Piedmont and the Appalachians. Students will prepare dye baths, mordant cloth, and using resist techniques design squares to be incorporated into a wall hanging that can be displayed at the school, or raffled off as a fundraiser.
