Fabric Dyeing

During Open Studios i demonstrated a different technique everyday and on one of the sunny days I demonstrated using different types of dyes, Procion and Dylon. I did this in a sandwich box and trays show how you can get gradients of colours and have a good dye texture pattern. I also discussed the colourwheel due to the close colour mixing. As you can see by the clothes dryer at the end of the day, I have a good stash of newly dyed fabrics.

Marking City and Guilds

Well, look at this lovely site. All eighteen students work, stitchbooks, files and sketchbooks laid out across my table ready for marking. It was a hard job to do as the standard was so high. Everyone did fantastic and for such a short course, only eight weeks. Each page of the stitchbooks are treasures. I am lucky enough as the tutor to have to hold on to this work until the end of the Summer so they are available for the examiners to mark and I take a section to Norwich for outside verifier's to mark.
The Stitchbooks will be on show to the public for two weeks, in my studio for The Norfolk Open Studios. Well done to everyone who took part.
