What is next for Images?

Well, this sunday i am teaching basic techniques of shibori style silk dying at Lake Farm Park’s Woolfest.  I have 5 students signed up so far, and have assembled the supplies. 

Each Kit includes:

• 1 piece of silk, mesuring 15″ x 60″
• 1 pack unflavored dental floss
• 1 half sheet pan
• 1 pint size mason jar (for water)

Additional supplies include:

• 1 bottle of rubbing alcohol
• 1 large copper boiler
• 1 iron
• 1 ironing board
• 1 old quilt
• lots of newspaper
• tubes of metallic resist

And additional silk for those who want to try a second piece.

On the to do list before the class:

• final edits on class handouts
• post card with sources of supplies

It is a new venture for me.  I have not taught the class for the full 6 hours…. but know we have wiggle room for the silk to dry, to work on the silk with resist, and to process and iron the pieces.  I am eager to see what color choices the students will pick… and promise to post pictures.
