Hi back from Summer School and completely exhausted, but really enjoyed it. The weather was good to us and only rained at night! Marguerita and I shared a room, which was large light and airy- brilliant.
The workshop I attended was with Ruth Brown, Cyanotyping, whilst Marguerita decided on Alice Fox's Rusting workshop. The two go together really well and Marguerita & I have already decided to combine the two techniques, as if you think of it Blue & Orange look really good.
I did come back with some lovely samples, however one done using silk velvet went really weird in colour when stacked in my workroom- the colour changed from wishy washy blue (which I thought was a failure) to black, brown, yellow & blues from the bottom up- it has transformed into a landscape??? So you see there are no such things as mistakes!
I intend to do more, as I bought a basic kit from Ruth, have sourced the boards to attach the work to & am just off to get the chemical needed from the chemist, that's when I get changed out of my nightwear.
Here are some photos of the weekend, they include photos from my workshop & Marguerita's.
