Sue O. adds dyes to the large tray of water
June 2017 |
Friday's post was about the experience of
Suminagashi Dyeing, and today explains how the large panels of fabric were dyed.
 |
once Sue O. had added all the ink that she wanted, the fabric was
carefully placed on top of the ink-covered water |
 |
| Lorre H. assists Sue O. to makesure the fabric is straight and in the tray |
 |
| allowing the fabric to take up the ink |
 |
revealing the dyed panel
The panel was rinsed in plain water after it was removed from the tray. |
Important Note: our instructor purchased cotton sheeting for the class and treated it with alum before the class so that it would take up the dye and so that the dye would adhere to the fabric. The fabric
MUST be pre-treated.
