I bought all the dry goods last weekend (but did I get enough jam?), and more shopping will happen tomorrow and Friday (both days I&#8217;m taking off work). A bit of cooking will be done tonight, but the main effort starts tomorrow: baking desserts, and chopping. Twenty pounds of onions, at least, six pounds of mushrooms, eighteen pounds of root vegetables. Friday I&#8217;ll pick up the meat and bread and other perishables and head out to the site. Clean the kitchen, bake the tarts, make soup, prep for Saturday&#8217;s breakfast. Saturday I will be in the kitchen from 11am on, so I won&#8217;t be able to attend any classes. <\/p>\n<p>Except mine. Oh yeah, I&#8217;m teaching a class on synthetic dyes, for medievalists who don&#8217;t have time, patience or otherwise aren&#8217;t able or interested in using natural dyes. What dyes to use, what other equipment is needed, safety precautions, and what will it look like? <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stringpage.com\/blog\/photos2\/color20091115-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dyed colorwheel\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The lighting is unfortunate, but <i>pretty<\/i>, no? I did up a colorwheel in 20\/2 silk as part of my familiarization process with the Lanaset dyes. No streaking, no breaking, no bleeding. I&#8217;m really quite happy with these, though they are a lot of work to use.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stringpage.com\/blog\/photos2\/color20091115-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dyed colorwheel\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Wish me luck, and I&#8217;ll see you next week sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of the paperwork side of the textile symposium is taken care of &#8211; class scheduling, program book, the various signs and forms and sheets that need to be prepared.
