How do you "SET" these dyes...so they will not RUN when you wash them?

I started a class for children in dyeing silk fabrics and I wanted to consult you: I have 30 children in the class. A weekly meeting. And I purchased 30 meters of fabric, four types of colors of silk and three types of borders. I thought it would be enough for the 18 meetings I committed to in the circle. But no, I almost completely ran out of colors and half of the amount of fabric after only three sessions we created. That means I have 15 more meetings. Is it possible to purchase a large amount of silk dye? And how can I save on pouring the colors for the children? If I pour on a plate then it's wasted, because I can't return it. So I pour into glasses. But still, every child asks and sometimes spills on someone...and it turns out that they use much more than I planned. I have another question for you: what ideas do you have for the creation? I made a scarf with them. I made a napkin and made a picture with them. In the next lesson I plan to make a lampshade with them. What else can be prepared next? I thought about a cover for the eyes and a small pillow, but that requires me to sew the piece for them. And I'm not that good at sewing. Thank you very much for the answer

Hello, I am an art teacher at a school and I want to make a painting on silk fabric with the children. I wanted to ask after we draw the picture when the canvas is stretched with pins on top of a wooden frame and we release it - how will I present the work to the children? How can the artwork be hung on a wall?

@rootedexpressionsstudio Ай бұрын

After you set the silk paint, there are multiple ways you can display the silks. When I silk painted with my students, I would either pin the top two corners on a bulletin board with white paper or hang twine/thin rope on the hall wall and use mini clothes pins to hang the silks.

For other types of silk, absolutely - however the reaction may look a little different. As for cotton, I am not sure. I only work with silk, but you could experiment on some cotton scraps to see if it works. Please share your results if you do!

If this were a large scale, say for 3.5 yards. Would you stretch this without anything under, also is this steam fix?

@rootedexpressionsstudio 9 ай бұрын

These are Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes, so yes, they are steam set. For a large yardage you can either mount it or stretch it and get the same results.

Scrolling to see of someone asked, but dont see it. Forgive me if this is a repeat. The salt disolves, right. But does it change the silky feel. or flow of the fabric?

@rootedexpressionsstudio Жыл бұрын

The salt doesn't fully dissolve, you just brush it off when it has dried. When the dye/paint is set then any remaining salt will wash out when you wash the silk.

@@ramshailyas4512 Are you using silk PAINT or silk DYE? I use silk dye, so it will reactivate anytime I get it wet until I set the dye by steaming. Silk paints are typically an acrylic paint, so they will not react the same once they are dry. This might be the reason.

@rootedexpressionsstudio 2 жыл бұрын

one is fabric dye, the other is fabric paint. Dye actually penetrates the fiber and paint just sits on the fiber. In my opinion, paint can sometimes make the silk feel stiff.

Hi after making your dye shades do you dilute them. As I feel they get stuck and do not move to bled well can you pl help thanks

It depends on the color, if I want it lighter I will dilute them. I will wet the silk before applying the dyes so the dyes will move better on the silk.

How do you set the ink?

@rootedexpressionsstudio 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Eva, it is silk dye so it has to be steam set, I have a silk steamer that I use to set the dye. There are other silk paints that are heat set so you do not have to use a steamer, like Dye-na-Flow.

@rootedexpressionsstudio 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Eva, I am using silk dyes, not an ink. The silk dyes are steam set so I use a stovetop silk steamer from Dharma Trading Company to set the dyes. There are silk paints such as Dye-Na-Flow that you can use where you set the dyes by using a hot iron. You can also use alcohol ink on silk but I do not have the background knowledge on how to set it.
