This new two day course will allow students to gain in-depth knowledge of the repeat pattern fabric printing process within a commercial framework. Tutor Frieda Peppercorn will introduce the theory of the artworking process before allowing you to begin developing your own pattern either digitally or by hand depending on what fits in with your practice.
You will then be shown how to coat and expose large format screens and go through the technical aspects of setting up a fabric bed and registering screens. We will also cover proper use of pigments and ink mixing using the Magna Colours…
All materials are provided. If you have a design you would like to use for the repeat pattern please bring this with you as a high res image file (PNG, PDF, AI or PSD) on a USB stick or email it to workshops@3rdrailprintspace.co.uk via WeTransfer.
