Dye small projects in a fully equipped studio
Stamping on Cotton
We will use thickened fiber reactive dyes and stamps to print. I have many, many stamps but you can bring yours too (just put your name on them). Bring your cotton, rayon or other cellulose fiber or silk as a T-shirt*, yardage* or bag*. The cloth you want to print on should be white or light colored because dyes are transparent and you will see the ground color through the dye. Wash the cloth in hot water and dry before you bring it. Iron for a flat surface that prints clearly but wrinkled surfaces give interesting effects. I will have many colors in the fiber reactive dyes but the adventuresome can mix their own. You should have time to print 3 items , but that depends on the personality of the printer. The printed cloth can be taken home in a plastic bag and after 24 hours you can wash it and it will be ready to wear.
Come and play in my colors.
