Week Three. 8th October.

This week I continued with natural dye samples. For this project I think choosing and finalising colours correctly are very important, as this is one of the main reasons I was drawn to this subject.
I experimented with fresh red cabbage, pickled red cabbage and beetroot, I achieved some wondeful colours and I am very excited about using them further on.







For the next few weeks we have taught sessions in the print room, to familiarise ourselves with the new equipment and recap techniques that are available to us. This week we worked on Digital printing, with Reactive dyes, pigment and sublimation papers, there were some good techniques which I may explore further.

I have been lookinga t the work of Sara Singh and Sara Midda. I think their watercolour and ink techniques would be a valuable and useful medium for me to explore when drawing my found objects.
