Learn the most simple and effective ways to screen print your own designs onto fabric and how you can set up your own workspace to keep doing so at home. 

Teacher: Leslie Keating

Workshop Duration: Full Day

Description: In this six hour workshop, you will create stencils using both paper and vinyl and learn what kind of designs work best with this method. We'll also discuss other means of getting artwork onto screens including photo emulsion and using drawing fluid.

Materials: 2-3 meters of cotton calico (or other natural fibre fabric)  cut up into 40cm x 50cm pieces (roughly 20 pieces) to use for test prints and then whatever natural fibre material or items you want to print on (fabric, pillowcases, t-shirts, tea towels, etc).

Takeaway: This is a technique focused class but you will go home with the stencils created during the workshop, your fabric test prints and one linen tea towel or calico tote bag (your choice) printed by you plus an instruction sheet which outlines the information given in the workshop.

Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
