Summer School – 2 Days: Screenprinting for Textiles (Beginners)

Suitable for beginners, this 2 day workshop will explore methods of screenprinting on fabric. Screenprinting allows you to transfer artwork onto fabric and is often used to produce textiles for fashion, interior design and fine art.

What The Course is About:

Materials Required:

What to bring to the first session: The cost of workshop-based materials such as inks, newsprint, chemicals and equipment maintenance are included in the fees. Your main additional expense will be fabrics, tapes, mount spray and tracing paper. It is common for students to build their own set of basic art equipment (such as brushes, pencils and knives), although these are available in the workshop. For fabrics, consider synthetic or natural fibers. Cotton, polyester or linen are some examples of what works well. For sourcing fabrics, Goldhawk Road in Shepherds bush, MacCulloch and Wallace and Woolcrest are some great locations.
