Art Quilters meeting on Saturday 9 March

The Art Quilters will be meeting tomorrow from 1-4pm. Here is a message from Wilma about the afternoon's mini-workshop:

we are playing with food colouring, shaving cream, fabric and paper.

You will need all the above. The shaving cream can be “No Frill or Home brand” and you could share a container with a friend. The fabric needs to be white or off white several A5 pieces will be great.

Other things you will need are: newspaper to protect the tables, gloves, wooden spoon or a small stick and a squeegee (old credit card or a piece of firm card board).

I would encourage recycling your used  printing paper while you are trying this method out.

I will bring trays, food colouring and anything else I can think off.

Art Quilters meet on Saturday 9th June

The Art Quilters group meets this Saturday from 1.00pm to 4.00pm. Here is a message from the convenor, Buffy :

Activity:  playing with Sharpie permanent markers and Isocol

          Please bring any Sharpie pens you might have and different backgrounds (paper, silk, cotton, lace, etc) for us to mark.  The Isocol will dilute and spread the paint on silk, but we’ll have to experiment and see if they are any good with other materials.  We’ll work on top of freezer paper which I will bring.  I already have bought a bottle of Isocol and have a spray bottle, so you don’t have to bring those either.  See short video:
