This is the Project work of class 6 .
At the beginning students discussed what
plants, seeds or berries could be used for dyeing and painting. All together
came to an agreement to use blueberry jam, cherry juice, carrot juice,
onionskin, beat roots, coffee beans and mix of herbal teas.
All colours liquid students tried on the
paper and educed that they are not so bright as synthetical paint. After that
students started to dye wool using salt and vinegar as a mordant. After dyeing wool was rinsed in warm water
and dried
