4 Evening Workshop
June 4, 11, 18 and 25, 2024

Experiment with the wonderful world of textile screen printing with this introduction to working with fabric! The emphasis in this class is on understanding basic analog concepts you need to know to successfully print on fabric, as well as a chance to try out interesting inks and materials in an informal space.

Using shared class screens, we will layer imagery to create printed designs on reclaimed fabric. We will coat a screen with photo emulsion and expose it using hand-drawn stencils. We will also explore paper stencils and touch on key technical considerations for printing on fabric. We will also have fun with some unusual inks and experimental processes. Participants will leave feeling excited about the possibilities of textile printing, and empowered to get started. You are
also welcome to bring in a blank 100% cotton t-shirt to print with your design.

Please note - digital processes will not be covered in this class.

The instructor will cover:
- Understanding your screen, fabric, and squeegee options, so that you can make informed choices
- Demonstration of photo emulsion coating and exposure
- What to consider when designing imagery for printing on textiles and specific techniques for pulling prints on fabric
- A chance to try out some unusual inks and experimental processes
- Make prints that last! How to finish and care for your textile print.
