Caroline Bell is running a 2 day workshop in printing with inks made from natural dye extracts at Cinderford Artspace, on 2nd and 3rd November.
She has so much to show us, I’m inspired and excited! Here’s an outline of the course -
Printing with Natural dyes
This is an introductory workshop examining the use of print paste with natural dye extracts in order to achieve a variety of effects using a range of print techniques onto fabric. We will cover preparation of fabric, mixing the print paste and how to add the dye extracts. Print methods will include the use of screens, thermofaxes, gelliplates, stencils and print blocks. If time permits we will also look at how to use the print paste with a mordant onto fabric and then overdye with a natural dye.
Here are some photos of some of Caroline’s prints and from previous workshops she’s run -
Wow you can see how much we’ll learn and be able to achieve!
