In Class

I spent last week in an Independent Study class with Jane Dunnewold.  Jane holds it every January and it has become a new year's ritual for me.  Many of us have been returning for 3-5 years. Everyone works on their own thing.  I find it a great way to jump start the new year and it is fascinating to see what everyone else is working on. I came away with a lot of finished cloth and a lot of ideas for more! Here are some photos of the week.




Leslie Jenison shows some of her Spoonflower fabric. It was like a guessing game trying to figure out what the original photo was.

Linda Dawson works on her unique process for transferring color to fabric from paper.



The finished pieces




This almost-finished cloth is by Jeannette Davis.  At the beginning of the week, all she had was the original dyed fabric.  Everything else was done in class.



Diane Lopez displays her natural dyeing techniques.  This cloth has iodine (and some other unidentified substances as well!) Diane sells her beautiful scarves at Kathleen Sommers in San Antonio.




Vivian Mahlab works on layers of screenprinting



Another piece by Vivian



This is one of my layered resist pieces - 3 layers of soy wax and immersion dyeing.



This is three layers of potato dextrin resist, handpainted


Another one of my pieces - multiple layers of Jacquard resist and acrylic medium resist
