Last night was week one of a printing on fabric workshop that my friend, Allan Oliver, and I are teaching at Trinity. We have two wonderful assistants, both named Liz!! Mr C and I went down in the afternoon and raised two tables on pvc pipe. Then, I covered the tables with plastic, two layers of felt and muslin. I set up tubs for water to wash screens and stencils.

I also set up a sample for a demo to show how to layer designs with paint. I sponge painted a background.

We had a full house, many of the participants were men! I think everyone had a good time.

We have a big empty bulletin board where we hung work to dry.

Today, I am just plain pooped. It has been a busy week so I am taking it easy.
