Rust Bath Workshop

Today a large group of Fibres Folk met at Barb's for a workshop on rusting a variety of papers, lace and cloth in the rust baths which Barb prepared. A tannic solution, caustic soda solution and iron solution. We all dipped and dripped and lay our bits of paper on the lawn with branches over them to stop them blowing away in the wind - and watched the magic happen. It was a lot of fun and the results were very rewarding.

A huge thank you to Barb for all her hard work and for once again hosting a workshop at her home.
