Graphite Mix with Barb Adams
Cold Wax Batik with Tania di Berardino
Tie Dye effects with Dineke McLean
These
activities will not only provide a fun afternoon
but will also assist with research on surface techniques
to be included in our forthcoming Occasional Publication.
Members will be asked:
1.To bring several post card size pieces of their
own
internally sized paper.
Please include some textured, stitched or cast finishes.
2.Fill in a provided worksheet detailing paper
fibre,
size used, formation aid, buffer etc
3.Comment on the effects of the surface techniques
on their paper and attach a sample for our research.
Please
bring pen, apron, rubber gloves, dust mask,
soft cloth for polishing, hand towel and something to
put your own samples in for the homeward journey
POV will provide the materials and some
Fabriano Accademia paper to give us an indication
of how an all purpose commercial art paper behaves
under the same conditions.
