SALE DIY - Dyeing - Clay Resist Kit

Contains the pre-measured ingredients to create a thickened clay paste, which you can print onto fabric using the method of your choice - paint, stencil, silk screen, wood block, lino cut print, etc.

Once printed and dried, you dye your fabric in indigo and the dye will resist where you have printed the clay, leaving these areas undyed while the rest of your fabric becomes blue. This technique only works with indigo, since clay paste is soluble in water and would wash off in other dye baths, but the unique qualities of the indigo vat mean that the clay holds up in the vat. When you are finished dyeing, you simply wash off the paste and reveal your design.

Contents:

15g magnesium sulphate (epsom salts)
30g gum arabic
50g calcium bentonite clay

Please note this is just the Clay Resist kit, Indigo Dye kit is sold separately.
