I spent two days this week attending the Summer School at Littleheath Barn called Layers of Text.
Liske's aim was that we would print less metres of fabric but have several layers on the fabric we did print.
I had written Captivity, Freedom, Identity on one screen with flour paste and Dancing in Fetters on a second screen also with flour paste.
When the flour paste was dry I scraped thickened Procion dye through the screen which breaks down the flour paste. A different take on breakdown printing.
The piece above was printed onto Organdie with a piece of muslin
underneath. The image went through the Organdie and coloured the muslin below.
Not that it's a problem! I can make the piece again on non-soda soaked calico and use fabric paints with the Copic pen. That's if I decide I need to do it again.
In the meantime, this last piece matches the other fabrics I printed rather well, so I will cut them up and piece them together.
Watch this space!
Thanks for being here today
Bernice
