Summer School

A fabulous weekend - good company, too much good food, 

fantastic weather.   Our tutor's luggage ended up in Nice,

only to be delivered two hours before the end of the workshop. 

There was just enough time for Jette to show her latest 

quilts, which then made sense of all the surface marking

techniques we had been messily making over two days.

Mark making with found objects

Rubbings

Monoprinting

At last more than one colour - my silk screen

with remains of flour and water paste resist.

All together now;  lost the white background; rubbings;

black screen print with 'voids'; flour and water paste

resist; cerise and yellow print.

Learnt lots. Dealt with the bringing wrong paints. Had only

textile screen paints black, cerise, a very pale turquoise 

and yellow to work with. Since the first exercises were

restricted to one colour, it did concentrate the mind.

And then there was the gelatin plate printing. brilliant.

More on that in next post.
