Textile Surface Printing
Jun 13 - 17, 2022
9AM-5PM
Concept
Decorating textiles is a global tradition with varying styles and functions. Students immerse themselves in the practice of fabric printing and experiment with how to transform textiles with various printmaking and dye techniques as well as learn the basics of screen printing and block printing onto fabric. Participants 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. Students are welcome to bring their own light-colored fabrics of natural fiber: cotton; linen; and/or silk.
Media & Techniques
Water-based inks on fabric using screen printing and relief techniques, Procion dyes via block printing, foil, resist and dye techniques

Building Layers in Monoprint
Laura Berman
Tuition $1,345
Code R0908-25
Taking an exploratory approach to image making, this workshop combines a variety of collage and printmaking techniques. Monoprint techniques are taught in combination with archival collage techniques, with an emphasis on color and printed layers. Students are encouraged to work beyond the first layer of printed imagery to create a new body of work that extends in size and has no technical limitations. With a focus on color, shape, line, and pattern, the goal of this workshop is to further each student’s image vocabulary using printmaking and collage.
