Today we went into the surface pattern workshop and they showed us how to apply different mixes of colour onto a certain material. This was really fun! it wasn't too hard as well which is good.
First we had to wash the desk with just soapy water and then we had to apply this gel onto when it was dry (it smelled really bad like cheese). Once it had all dried, we could place our bit of material on top and then if we rubbed an iron over it, it sticked to the table!
After sticking the fabric to the table we had to start mixing the colours. It was really interesting because we only had to use a tiny bit of the ink to make the colour form.
After mixing our colours we could apply them to the fabric using the pieces of wood/stencil and dragging the colour through!
This was a really good session, we have got to go back on Friday and we will be taught how to print our chosen images onto the fabric too!
Cant wait!!!
