printing at Llantrisant

Had another lovely weekend teaching at Llantrisant with a felt group, who all worked really hard and did a wide variety of printing with Thermofax screens,using natural dye extracts.It's always a joy to see other people using the same basic methods,yet coming up with such different results.

Loved these little chickens.

I love this but I can't turn it round the right way-sorry!

This lovely sample is Mandy's,who organised the weekend in the lovely Model  House craft centre,where the facilities were excellent.I'm sure she will do wonderful things with all her printing when time allows.

Pat's trees with woad and rust worked well and will go on to be developed into a final piece for her exhibition later in the year. 

I love the 'drawn' feel of Claire's images on muslin.All together a very happy weekend and thank you Pat for the hospitality.

  

Thermofax screenprinting class at Art Van Go

Just had a lovely session printing with a group of twelve students in the Art Van Go studio at Knebworth.I never fail to be delighted by the work groups produce and this was a particularly good session with some gorgeous results, though these pictures don't do the work justice-think I must have been tired!!

Love the effect  of the first picture, which is really white on cream calico, but looks darker here.The next picture is also amazing,with such a 3 D feel to it that it makes you want to touch the surface.

Finally,these lovely prints of knitted lace delighted me,particularly in view of my recent obssession with lace of all kinds.The thermofax creates such wonderfully detailed screens.
