Integrating Shibori: Advanced Design
Jan Myers-Newbury | September 30-October 4, 2013
SUPPLY LIST (Please label your own supplies)
• FABRIC: Arrive with at least 10 yards of dyed fabric. Per usual in my classes, this will generally be small pieces (fat quarters, half-yards) - totalling 10 yards. These should potentially be fabrics that would work in a single composition. Bringing two sets is certainly acceptable.
• Bring at least 30 yards of pre-scoured PFD for further dyeing. COTTON ONLY.
• Bring enough white cotton flannel to cover your 8’ x 8’ allotment of wall.
The supply list is similar to the one for the level 1 class and is posted here as a checklist. If you know that you will NOT be doing clamp resist, for instance, then you can eliminate anything related to that. Also bear in mind that I will be bringing my usual truckload of hardware and poles.
• PLEASE NOTE that constructing quilt tops will be optional: for some it is more useful to design and record with camera than it is to spend the time sewing. HOWEVER, you may choose to bring a machine and do piecing during the workshop, and that is fine. Thus...
• Sewing machine optional.
• If it is at all handy for you to bring a good steam iron, please do so. A couple of “table-type” boards would be helpful. Extension cord if bringing iron.
• If you have already collected dyeing supplies, and you are arriving by car, bring as many 5-gallon buckets as is convenient.
For dyeing bring:
• Rubber gloves and old clothes to wear most of the time. Obtain Playtex-type household gloves that come at least 4-5” beyond your wrist. (Surgical-type short gloves are NOT OK.)
• At least three 2’ lengths of plastic PVC (plumbing) pipe: any diameter up to 4”.
DO NOT BRING LENGTHS LONGER THAN 24”.
DO NOT BRING DIAMETER GREATER THAN 4”.
• Any clamping devices that you locate around the house, or that you wish to buy and bring (C-clamps, bulldog clips, large squeeze clamps...)
• Hard shapes for clamping: jar lids, metal washers, wooden shapes (squares, rectangles, triangles), wooden sticks 8-10” long, chopsticks, Legos....
• Nylon braided or coiled rope of a substantial diameter (1/2” or more), bring a 3’ length.
• An assortment of paint brushes if you have some - the sponge kind work well.
• Assorted needles and thread for hand-sewing, thimble if you use one, hand-quilting thread
• Seam ripper, sharp-pointed scissors
• Rotary cutter, straight edge and mat. This does not need to be big.
• Rubber bands, assorted - heavy ones are best
• Cord and/or string - at least 500 yards total. This could be crochet cotton, weaving warp, string - various sizes good.
• An INDELIBLE black fine point marker (Sharpie) for marking your fabrics.
• A TYVEK envelope - a used one is perfect
• Stapler loaded with staples + extras
• An old bath towel
• Paper and pencil for note taking, straight pins for organizing swatches
