The theme of this year's Summer School at Littleheath Barn Studio is Buildings. If you've read Getting Ready you will know I was struggling with choosing between in canalside redbrick buildings and the beautiful architecture of Venice.
I chose Venice.
We started with making marks on fabric. I used stencils, thermofax screens, procion dye and white acrylic paint.
I also tried marking making with hot wax.
And drew with charcoal procion dye. I also used a screen for breakdown printing.
All the above photos were taken whilst the fabric was wet.
My usual complaint when I've washed out my dyed fabric is that it is all too bright or too dark. Not this time!
Very washed out!

When I get back to the second set of two days of the Summer School I think I may make more marks on the two very pale cloths with fabric paint.
I also need to decide what I am making with these fabrics. I don't want to make hangings and if I make a book it needs to be different from all the others I've made lately.
Watch this space!
Thanks for joining me today
