Yvonne did some screen printing, while I prepared another print block after finding a further design element I wanted to explore below.
Jill began printing on to fabric with the block she made above, and Jenny prepared to print with her blocks below
Cath printed onto various fabrics with her original design, and also brought along several other smaller blocks she is exploring this technique with
Helen developed a design she liked and made a string block
Jenny encouraged everyone to try their blocks not only with inks and paints, but with discharge paste and thick bleach above, with Cath's discharge paste print below
Cath discussed her print with Helen, explaining she was a little disappointed in the print block
Yvonne says she has now found a design element she is happy to continue with, and made prints with paint and discharge paste above. Below are more of Cath's stamping the top two rows are potato prints with discharge paste, and below she has made marks with a bleach pen.
Above the discharge paste on two of Jenny's pieces is curing and beginning to appear, and below she printed using metallic acrylic paints
Above and below are more prints from print blocks Cath designed
Above, Cath was pleased with her original design stamped using fabric paint, and below another of Cath's print blocks, both in positive and negative on fabric using acrylic paint. Very effective on the hand dyed fabric Cath!
Above a further print from Cath and below the result of her discharge and bleach dyeing after washing out the paste and bleach
Everyone agreed this was a good productive day, and we are all looking forward to the next play session. Rachel
