This July and August I am offering a collection of 5 Printmaking sessions. Each with a unique emphasis on a traditional printmaking technique or a more experimental approach.
As we all want to enjoy the sunny and warm weather, these session will take place during the Open Workshop time on Wednesdays evening between 16:30 - 21:00.
It is possible to book 1 - 3 or 5 sessions at the same time, therefore one can benefit from a discount and decide which technique/session/date suits them best.

This Wednesday 31.08.2022 - Fabric Print
There are various ways for printing on fabric. The four main methods of textile printing are block, roller, screen, and heat transfer printing. In each of these methods, the application of the colour, usually as a thickened paste, is followed by fixation, usually by steaming or heating, and then removal of excess colour by washing. From block printing to serigraphy, it is one of the oldest attested form of printmaking we know of.
During this workshop we will learn an easy and reliable technique to print of fabric based on rubber foam stamping and stamp making. Each participant will design they own print, test it on paper and then print it on a tot bag. Participants are encouraged to bring more accessories such as t-shirts, curtains, etc. based on cotton, on which to print their designs.
*This workshop takes place with a minimum of 3 participants.
** All materials are included (ink, tools, solvent and mordants). Tot bags can be purchased directly through the instructor at the workshop. Any other fabric (t-shirts, cotton fabric etc.) is to be provided by the participants - Only cotton based fabric will work!
