Exhibition of Work at Nectar Desserts
Lesley and Donna Clement will have an exhibition of their work in Nectar desserts, the new cafe in Inglewood, Calgary. The exhibition will be up from August 1st until August 31st. http://www.nectardesserts.com
Dying Days
Lesley and Donna took advantage of the heat wave in Calgary and spent 5 days dying cottons. The first 2 days were spent dying pale backgrounds then they thickened the dyes with sodium alginate and painted the next layers of dye on the cloth. They worked their way through the techniques in Ann Johnston's book 'Color by Design'.
