Playing with transfer dyes

Transfer dyes can change the color of all synthetic materials: panne velvet, pollycoton, Lutradur, Pelmet Vilene, Evolon, synthetic felt, etc.

We’ll learn in a fun way how to make the best use of these paints, from applying them to different types of paper to various techniques and applications, such as simple random techniques, as well as painting and resist techniques with transfer paints and different ironing methods.

On the second day, you can use some of the dyed materials to create whatever you like: a book cover, a picture or cosmetic pads with little pouches, or you can delve deeper into these techniques.

Duration: 2 days
