Today was Day One of our Rice Paste Resist on Silk class with Akemi Cohn at the Coupeville Art Center on Whidbey Island. Akemi is a warm and knowledgeable teacher, and both Gerrie and I felt very much at ease in class.
Here is Akemi kneeding the rice paste resist 'dough' before steaming it:

it's late, I'm tired, and so you can look at the pictures and figure out the rest for yourself tonight!

Beautiful place. What you are doing looks a bit like breadmaking (until you added the acid!) but no doubt you'll have an amazing scarf come out of it. Fascinating, all these mysterious processes; keep having a great time. XXOO
Looks like a wonderful learning experience! Rice paste resist sounds so interesting. Enjoy the rest of your time.
Peace!
Hey, good photo of Geri! Having fun yet? I'm jealous!
