unexpected gifts



it's a gift when a student comes back for a second helping of workshop and even more so when the student has been working all weekend and produces a sample like the one above

all those delicious colours and patterns produced in a single dye session

absolutely magic!

    no Kathy, i don't premordant... the [toxic] metal salts traditionally employed as adjuncts to plant dyes aren't necessary.

    the gift was not only that the student came back for a second workshop and that she had worked all weekend
    but her absolute delight in her beautiful treasure

    this is what makes teaching such a joy...and why i allow myself to be lured away from my sanctum from time to time
