Do you love fabric? Colour? Texture? Patterns?
Have you always wanted to learn to screenprint?
This workshop will help you understand the basic techniques of screen printing and transferring designs onto fabric through handcut stencils and mark making. I will show you how to transfer your design ideas using stencils and various brushes and stamps to print your own little fabric collection. You will learn tips and tricks to be able to continue printing at home if you so desire.
The possibilities of transferring your own mark onto fabric are endless!
Come and join me at River Studios for a day filled with colour, texture and printing.
What to bring:
Wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit of ink on or bring an old apron to wear.
Your lunch - fridge, microwave and sandwich toaster all available. Morning tea will be provided with tea and coffee. Please note that there are no cafes within walking distance of studio.
Ideas, pictures or drawings to use as inspiration for your designs. There will be plenty of inspiration available on the day too!
Feel free to bring your own fabric to print on. Natural fibres only please as the inks used are best suited for fabrics such as cotton, linen or hemp. Light coloured fabrics are best.
You will go home with your own bundle of printed fabrics that can be transformed into a tote, small zipper pouch, cushion cover and so much more! You will also receive an information booklet which will include some of the techniques learned and how to continue at home.
