Paste-resist Dyeing

Textile sample,
Susan Bosence

Iron-rust block-printed triangles over-dyed in rust on cotton cloth using flour and water paste-resist painted on in narrow stripes. The crackled effect was created by the paste shrinking on the cloth as it dried out. Pulling the dried cloth created a tracery of fine line allowing the dye to penetrate the cloth.

1960s
