Open House day 2

Mini Workshop and Demonstrations with Gil De Vloo

Intro
At the beginning of every workshop season we like to invite you to come and visit our studio. We want to show you all new materials we found for you as well as present the upcoming workshops, related to textile and surface design. The Open House will be held on September 4 and 5. We will start both mornings with a mini workshop (registration required, to be booked and paid in advance) followed by demonstrations which are free to attend. There will also be special discounts and visitors get free access to the Audax Textile Museum.  

Mini Workshop -  iDYE - Innovative dye for use in your washing machine or stove top 

Dyeing in a washing machine has never been more easy. During this short 2-hour workshop we will introduce you to a new product called iDye. iDye is a direct dye packed in a watersoluble small package which can be put in your washing machine without getting dirty fingers or any other mess. Simply add some salt or vinegar and you are ready to go! 

iDye is avaliable in 38 flashy colours:
30 colours for 100% natural fibres such as cotton, silk, rayon, wool and linen and 8 colours for polyester and nylon fibres.
During this workshop we will tie and dye silk and cotton (in the washing machine) and make other shibori marks on wool and polyester (stovetop method).  

please, bring yourselves:
resist materials (info regarding size etc will follow later)

No spectators welcome.
Places are limited - so please register and pay in advance.

As from 1pm there are free demo's given by Gil De Vloo as well:

1. Coloured "Puff" (expanding paste) or PEBEO TOUCH TEXTILE: VOLUME, GLOSS and METALLIQUE
2. Regulare puff combined with rust
3. A new clear transparant textile foil  

During this afternoon Gil will show you the applications of the new Pebeo series of Touch Textile. Thru drawing, directly from the applicator and screenprinting with thermofax screens on textile. Inspiration source for this method is a new and beautiful cotton scarf from ARTY's.

Gil will also show you a patination proces in combination with expanding paste. This will be done by screen printing the puff with thermofax screens and painting the iron base followed by rust on top with a brush.  

Furthermore she will also demonstrate the use of a clear textile foil which can be combined with a clear and colourless adhesive or white spunfab. The underlying colours will stand out more clearly resulting in a ton sur ton effect or matt versus shiny.

Hours from 1pm till 4pm
Demonstrations are free accessible.
