especially for my fabulous students

When I handed over the manuscript for Eco Colour back on March 19^th, 2007 I had no idea what an exciting path was about to unfold.

Nearly seven years on I’ve been on the most glorious adventures, many of which are entirely due to kind folk joining me over a cauldron.

I think it’s time for a celebration.

Given the very kind response to stuff,steep+store I want to put together a book that honours my wonderful students [many of whom are now my friends, bless you].

So here’s the plan.

If you have been a student of mine and would like to take part, please

[1]  write a brief statement about yourself   100-200 words

[2]  write a story about something that you have made or dyed as a result of being in a class and what that piece means to you   100-200 words

[3] supply three images of the work, one “hero” shot and two details 

[4] supply a picture of yourself, or if you are camera-shy... of your garden, or your studio assistant

[5] include the name of the photographer if it isn't you

Martha assisting in the studio

Images will need to be high resolution 300dpi  and sized at least about 23 cm [9 inches] as the minimum physical dimension.

If that doesn’t make any sense to you then simply email me the images at their original size and I will do the rest.

There’s no cost to participate, you can choose to buy the book or not - the only condition is that you have taken a class with me at some point. [Do please remind me which class it was…bears sometimes need a bit of prompting.]

When all the words and pictures have been gathered I will collate them into a book and make it available on Blurb. 

please send your contributions to 

mezmaja[at]gmail[dot]com

lets take March 19th, 2014 as a date to aim for getting all your bits together. [and if there's a tidal wave of them it will either be a very fat book or several volumes!]

Felix, training to be a studio assistant
