Banff March 4


While in the paper/dying studio, Ingrid gave us a demo on making a deconstructed screen for printing on fabric with thickened dye.



The screen needs to be left to dry before being used to push dye through onto cloth.


I soaked fabric in soda ash and hung it to dry in preparation for printing on. This is the view to the back of the studio where the bedrock has been left exposed. This studio is in the basement of the Glyde building which sits on the side of a mountain. You have to know where you are going to find this studio because it is isolated from the others. It is a great place to work.


Wendy made felt using fleece she had dyed and hand carded. The equipment behind her is used in paper making.
