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.
