Linda McLaughlin: Notes from Studio B: Discharge play day

I hosted another play day on Friday, this time we did discharge and some thermofax screening. Because of the fumes from bleach and discharge agents we started outside relatively early in the day to miss the triple digit temperatures. Then after a very yummy lunch (we all make something to share), we turned on the air conditioner in Studio B and played with thermofax screens.

I had challenged them to make something out of the fabric that they had painted the last time we were together and everyone stepped up to the challenge and brought back some wonderful things. Guess who forgot to take pictures of what they did?

This week in preparation for Friday's play day I used some Jacquard discharge paste and two thermofax screens on a piece of green hand dyed fabric.
