Explore the fundamentals and possibilities of screenprinting on textiles with this weekend workshop for beginners and intermediate participants. This class will introduce how to transform textiles with various emulsion-less screenprinting techniques, including stencil-making techniques, free-form image-making, repeatable patterns for textile yardage, and how to build your fabric printing board. The goal for this class is to incorporate a more sustainable approach while overcoming the limited access to traditional printmaking facilities.
