Textile Printing: screen,
block, foil & dye
Padma Rajendran
CONCEPT
Decorating textiles is a global
tradition with varying styles and functions.
Immerse yourself in the practice of fabric
printing and experiment with how to transform
textiles with various printmaking and dye
techniques. In this introductory workshop,
students learn the basics of screen printing
and block printing onto fabric. Students create
and print their own designs onto fabrics using
printmaking inks and Procion dyes. Fabrics are
enhanced with reflective foil printing and dye
baths to create patterns that sit on the surface
and invent images within the woven threads.
Students are welcome to bring their own light-
colored fabrics: cotton, linen and silk.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students print
with water-based inks on fabric using the
screen printing process and Procion dyes via
block printing. Students then continue the
transformation of their fabric with resist and dye
techniques. *Some fabrics are provided.
ACTIVITIES
Through daily demonstrations
and active studio time, students learn to
print onto fabric both repeat patterns and
singular images. Explore and experiment with
these different printing approaches within
surface design.

Squeezed! Polymer Photogravure
Kimiko Miyoshi Meg Turner
CONCEPT CONCEPT
Basic Photoshop skills required.
This experimental workshop
introduces students to the basic yet exciting
techniques of fine art screen printing and
color separation processes. The mechanism of
screen printing is squeezing ink through fine
mesh holes in a screen; it offers infinite mark-
making and layering possibilities for artists
who enjoy access to a variety of visual effects.
Students incorporate hand-drawn, hand-
cut, photographic and digitally-manipulated
images using paper-stencil, photo-emulsion
and alternative stencil methods. Registration
techniques are also presented with fixed station
as well as alternative printing approaches.
Participants then further explore this versatile
medium by printing on a variety of substrates.

Dive
into
centuries
of
printmaking and photographic innovation in
this intermediate workshop in photopolymer
gravure. Students
combine
turn-of-last-
century photographic publishing techniques
with cutting-edge polymer plate and digital
positive technology to self-publish editions
of photographs or drawings. Photopolymer
gravure is an intaglio technique using ink on
paper to create a continuous tone exquisite
for photo printing. The workshop provides a
bridge between photography and printmaking;
students manipulate photographs both digitally
and on the press.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students create
original screen print projects using water-based
screen ink on paper and/or fabric. Students also
examine various characteristics and advantages
of the screen printing process to see how it can
enhance their artistic endeavors. Students begin
with two digital files — photographs or drawings
— to print digital positives. Using these films, we
create polymer plates and print by hand on the
etching press. Experiment with ink color, hand-
wiping techniques and collage. Each student
creates a small edition from one of the two
plates they create. *Some plates provided.
ACTIVITIES Participants
learn
color
separation, plan layering, make assorted manual
and digital transparencies, expose photo
emulsion, mix ink, register layers and print with
a squeegee. Students also view examples of
prints, watch demonstrations and have ample
studio time to make work. ACTIVITIES

Kimiko Miyoshi’s printmaking
experience began as a silkscreen printer
in Japan. After receiving her MFA from the
University of New Mexico, she worked for
Explora Science Center in Albuquerque. This
work had a great effect on her creative practices
and observational habits. Kimiko teaches
printmaking at California State University,
Long Beach.

Through demonstrations and
studio time, students learn to manipulate
files for plate making, create plates and print
on an etching press. Each day includes a
demonstration of technique and studio time for
working, with individualized instruction from the
instructor.
