Living and working in Dublin City, I’m a visual artist who works in various media including printmaking (drypoint, monoprint, carborundum, etching and chine-collé), painting, cast sculpture (gelatin, resin & paper) and digital media (video and digital imagery).
I also work as an art educator and have lectured in the Fine Art Department of IADT, specialising in digital media. I'm involved with local community projects and have experience of organising and implementing various community art workshops and projects for both children and adults.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you! If you try the drying part in a more sheltered area, hopefully it will be better. Softer leaves like nasturtiums will also stick to your fabric better so will be less likely to blow away. Hopefully that helps and you get to try it again with some success! 🙂
@@JohnDoe-bj7fb My guess is that glass would impede the natural drying process of the sun. The sun dries the exposed areas of the painted fabric quicker than the area under the leaves and by capillary action, the paint is drawn from under the leaves into the open areas, leaving the leaf area more faint. I think overing with glass might disrupt this process.
Delighted you enjoyed it Aideen! The tea staining is really straightforward and I do a demo of it in the next workshop which is out on the 14th of May.
