Concept
Textile arts is a global tradition with varying styles and functions. Students immerse in the practice of fabric printing and experiment with how to transform textiles with various printmaking and dye techniques. In this introductory workshop, students learn the basics of screen printing and block printing onto fabric. Students create and print their own designs onto fabrics using printmaking inks and Procion dyes. Fabrics are enhanced with reflective foil printing and dye baths to create patterns that sit on the surface and invent images within the woven threads.
Media
Water-based inks on fabric using screen printing and relief techniques, Procion dyes via block printing, foil, resist and dye techniques, students are welcome to bring their own light-colored fabrics of natural fiber: cotton, linen and silk, *some fabric provided
