Dyeing Textiles

Spoke to Gareth in the Print Room today at college, he gave me a bit of basic knowledge of what fabrics are available to print on, natural dyes available to use and how to prepare the fabric/how to use them.
Gareth also gave me a few ideas of interesting ways to create experimental mark making, hopefully I'll be able to post some images of these soon.
