About the event

We will exhaust every way to use silkscreen in printing cloth in the time we have. Working in fiber reactive dyes, our prints will leave your work with the same original hand, so that you can use the fabric for apparel or art quilts. We’ll use stencils, paper barriers, Tyvek shapes, dirty screens, clear screens, screening to monoprint and everything in combination. Of course, we’ll add how to lay in backgrounds which will give us a variety of textures. Composition of the piece is discussed for printing fabric with the fabric’s ultimate function in mind -- positioning the print for maximum use. Learn all there is (or that we can do in a the time we have in class!) about silk screen printing on cloth.
