March Workshop - Transferring Images to Fabric with Wyn Ingham

Our very talented chairperson Wyn Ingham tutored our March workshop and she was a right slavedriver! She made sure that we all went home loaded down with samples from the new techniques we learnt during the day. 
We learned about transferring images using sellotape and what the Blue Peter generation know as sticky backed plastic; we made new fabrics using peeled serviettes; we used solvents and PVA, photocopies and magazine images, and lots of printing and rubbing using transfer paints and crayons. 


Wyn telling us just a teeny weeny bit of what she knows 
and making our heads explode

Members brought their usual small amounts of equipment...


Note that we also have opportunities for shopping at our venue!
Rachael did some work using stamps, over-layering with sheer fabrics, 
and made some labels using the sellotape transfer method

Jo spent the day working with leaf images in shades of umber

Sue L made lots of samples, these show images transferred using wide sellotape  and Bondawebbed peeled serviettes

Sue M's mini canvas with transferred printed image, 
and emulsioned spatula (as you do)

Mandy was determined to get some stitching done on her fabric 
made from peeled serviette which was adhered to cotton

Sue H made some lovely new fabrics from her transferred images 

Talented artist Judy drew a free-hand image of a face using transfer crayons

Margaret H transferred some strong images using the sellotape method, 
these would look great with some stitching added

Sue K made lots of samples showing all the different techniques

Jane C was finishing off her little felt house 
and her Branch Challenge zentangle

Jacqui's transferred images - does that make it a wooden spoon?

Margaret's samples, inclulding a lovely strong sellotaped image

Another busy day for Margaret W!

Jane made some lovely new fabric from peeled serviettes

Davina's transferred images included some illustrations from 
Alice in Wonderland

Janice, as usual, produced twice as much work as everyone else! 

New member Deborah produced some lovely colourful work  
including the stamped piece at the bottom
