Preamble
This blogspot exhibits many of my students outputs from a variety of workshops. There are one, two and five day workshops as well as workshops that have a different focus. Nevertheless, it always surprises me how much I learn from my students and how enthusiastic they are to learn and so for your convenience, I have listed the workshop posts below.

Introduction To “Complex Cloth” Dyeing Information
The first step in creating the deep and luscious surfaces that pre-empts the “complex cloth” surface design techniques of discharge (color removal), printing, painting and foiling, and retains the integrity of the “hand” of the fabric, is the initial phase of dyeing the cloth. Rich layers of multiple dyed color and patterning contribute to the underlying depth, richness and background design features of the finished piece.
This results in each piece being a unique and a one-of-a-kind dyed cloth, which can be further enhanced using “complex cloth” printing techniques or can be used in felted, quilted, painted or stitched works.
One Day Workshop Synopsis
The workshop was organized by workshop coordinator Narelle Higgins from the Victorian Feltmakers Inc. It was held at the Hartwell Church Hall, Hartwell on the 14th May 2011 in Melbourne, Australia. Workshop attendees were: Bronwyn Bell, Heather Hillman, Marg Hogan, Judith Latham, June Paterson, Gabrielle Pellissier and Christine Smith.
This one day “complex cloth” dyeing workshop was dedicated to exploring and mastering low water immersion dyeing, tray dyeing and special effects dyeing using fiber reactive MX dyes. Using a variety of techniques, which included unbound and bound fabrics, participants were introduced to the underlying principles of MX fiber reactive dye chemistry, color theory and color mixing. Participants worked on samples using a variety of fibers so that dye color comparisons using the different fibers could be made.
Future Workshops: Surface Design Association's Confluence Conference, Minneapolis, USA, June 2011; Cloth Arts @ St. Joseph’s, Hunters Hill, Sydney, Sept-Oct 2011.
