Learn a variety of techniques to create beautiful pattern and texture on cloth using resists.  A resist is a substance that is applied to cloth to block the penetration of dye.  Two techniques will be explored in the workshop: direct application of the resist to fabric and applying the resist to a silkscreen to create a unique screenprinted pattern.  Lisa will demonstrate the use of 5 resists: oatmeal, potato and corn dextrin, soy wax and Presist   You will have open studio time to experiment with each of the resists and will learn numerous variations.  Procion dyes will be used to paint the fabric over the resist and for screenprinting.  These dyes are easy-to-use, non-toxic and produce vivid colors.  This is a great opportunity to add some new tools to your surface design toolbox   For more information, contact inquiries@lisakerpoe.com. To sign up, contact ProChemical and Dye Fabulous Texture: Resist Techniques for Surface Design Date:  Wednesday - Sunday, July 25-29, 2012 Location: ProChemical and Dye, Fall River, MA Cost: $475 © 2012 Lisa Kerpoe   All Rights Reserved All text and photos are copyrighted, please do not reproduce without prior written consent.
