You’ll be guided through mixing pigments, preparing screens for printing, and preparing fabric on the print table, ready for printing.Throughout the workshops, you’ll create your own design to apply across various printing processes, with a focus on composition and colour palette. You’ll also learn how to create design ‘separations’ and expose your design(s) onto a textile screen.Each week, you’ll be introduced to different techniques for transferring your designs onto fabric, including metallic adhesives and foils for metallic effects, puff binder for texture, dyes and pastes for painterly effects on silk, and discharge printing on black fabric to produce white-on-black designs. You’ll also experiment with layering, combining paper stencils with screen prints to create more intricate compositions.You will also be introduced to devore printing; a technique where one fibre in a mixed-fibre fabric is burned or dissolved. This process creates a pattern where parts of the fabric remain intact, while other areas become more open, revealing different textures in the fabric.Upcycling is encouraged, providing opportunities to experiment with your own garments or textiles.Self-directed experimentation is built into the workshops, allowing you to develop confidence and explore your creativity in textile design and printing as you become more familiar with the textile workshop processes.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PM - 09:00 PMWorkshop ScheduleInfo: Workshop Schedule: Wednesdays, 18:30 – 21:00 (2.5 hours) Duration: 16/09/2026 – 25/11/2026 (9-week block) Note: No workshops on 14/10/2026 or 21/10/2026 due to public holidays.
