Mosaic Tile Island

A puzzle you make as you go along. And who doesn’t want to hit tiles with a hammer?

Mordant Block Printing

I used to do really craft based work. Somewhere along the line I stopped working with fibre quite as much, and started using alternative materials. Mordant printing uses a thickener and heat to selectively place mordants (In this case I used alum and iron) into fabric, so when put into the pot, the natural dyes […]

It’s Gone to Seed

Sprouting, growing, eating, thriving, seeding, dying, drying.
