1. Tuesday 13 April 2010 : Textile design and screenprinting
Working on cotton fabrics we will learn the "a-b-c" of fabric screenprinting, creating our own stripes, checks, florals and more. Wonderful for quilters who want to create their own unique cloths or who want to print on already patterned, bought fabric.
2. Wednesday 14 April 2010 : Memory Blocks
Working on cotton fabrics, using our own photographs, we will use a variety of techniques including photo transfers, photographic screens and cut stencils to make fabric blocks that have a strong personal resonance. These fabric memory blocks can be made up into a memory quilt.
3. Thursday 15 April 2010 : Printing on silk and velvet
If you have done the previous 2 days, you can now apply all you have learnt about screenprinting to working on luscious silk and velvet.
