Fibers I-Simple Tie Dye

Task #1- Empty and rinse out the soda ash bucket. Follow directions on the side of the bucket. The soda ash is under the island sink in the cabinet.

Task #2- Get a piece of fabric, and use a permanent marker to write your first and last name. Place the fabric in the bucket until the conclusion of the video.

Task #3- Finish the video we started before break. The start time is on a posted note on the computer screen at the teacher's station.

Task #4- All tie dying must take place on a metal counter top. Arrange your fabric based on one of the designs from the video (Spiral, Scrunch, Accordian Folds). The video can be reveiwed, if needed. Add rubber bands. Next add dye to both sides of the piece. Blot both sides with paper towel. Slide the dyed piece into a plastic bag. Plastic bags are found under the counter by the wall. Get a piece of tape and write you name on it. Place it on the bag. Tie the bag closed and place in the small blue tote near the paste paint cart near the looms. 

Collages are due by next Friday, January 12th.

Fibers II & III

This week please wrap-up your samples, and get your sketches completed. Turn things in as you finish them.

If you are ready to start your final, make a list of materials required for your piece. All projects will require you to purchase materials with the exception of weaving. Yarn is in abundance. Think about your budget, and plan accordingly.
