Perfect for confinement times lets get crafty together for a two hours session
Let’s remake an old t-shirt or a shirt or small item of clothing using what you have in the kitchen ... you can work with me or just follow me and make your own dye pot later .
Elisabeth Viguie-Culshaw will demonstrate how to get great yellow out of Turmeric and Green/brown out of onion skin
You will be able to replay this video if you need to see it again
If you work alongside me you need :
A garment (cotton is best and clean of any conditioning agent)
A pot (stainless steel is best or enamel ... don’t use aluminium it will affect your dye) it must have a kit or you can use an old saucer to cover it
Water
A large spoon
50 grs of Turmeric powder ... if you are out of it and in Woodside area ... KRK are selling it and they practise social distancing
Access to a sink
A stove or hot plate as you will need to simmer this for 30 mins
This is a FACE BOOK LIVE EVENT on the “Printing in Woodlands, a botanical journey” page. Click on this page and watch it will be on at 12 noon until 2pm ... you will be able to interact by text but not by voice ... I will be showing you how to tie dye with what you have in your kitchen and recycle a garment by just boiling some Turmeric spice
It will be massive good fun and creative and you will have a lovely smell of home cooking in your kitchen
I would love if you can post your results in a photo form on the page afterwards .
Hope to see many of you hereElisabeth
