surface design class

Another fun day playing with dyes, paints, seta colours, shaving cream and kitchen utensils. Here's the gang with me in the red shirt!

Dye Class Salon 2010

Here are some photos of my dyeing class at the Salon, the Quebec Provincial Quilt show, which by the way, is wonderful. A terrific selection of quilts and what great workmanship we have here.

The dyeing class was fun, and I love introducing people to the subject. We have a busy day doing a parfait with 3 colours, a range of 2 primaries, some bucket dyeing with scrunched, pleated and folded fabric, and then some painting with leftover dyes. Oh, and putting a pair of socks in the last remains of the day in the bottle.

The Collège Andre Grasset has a sunny art room with lots of sinks and washable vinyl floor!

And tomorrow we'll do surface design.

I'm teaching a dyeing and a surface design course and am looking forward to introducing a new group of people to the fun of transforming white fabric!
