I got water soluble pens for my eighth graders for them to transfer contour drawings to cloth for their stitching project. And needles, lots of needles. Black thread on white cloth. Drawing with thread. I can't wait to see what they do! I have to set up the assignment online and provide them with exciting visuals first so that they are excited as I am. I need to make a sample, too (that is the fun part!)
Today's arty thing is a short video about a simple etching process that looks fun to try. Not sure what type of milk carton is used, but it is worth looking into for both the classroom and studio. Cheers!
Atelier Gravure !Such an inspiring and neat little video - using milk cartons to produce etchings no less - making this technique accessible to many... Thanks go to Mathilde Payen, Paris, for sending this clip, and for introducing us to her unique publishing house TETRA éditions - https://www.facebook.com/tetraeditions/?fref=ts
