CONCEPT:  Ever dreamed of creating your own awesome
t-shirt design? Want to learn how to enhance and add patterns to clothing and fabric? In this workshop, students will
gain experience in textile screen printing techniques, and
learn methods such as monoprinting, stenciling and burning
an image to a screen. Students will experiment with different
patterns and shapes to make all-over designs and work on
bold, individual graphics. Students should bring t-shirts and
other garments on which to print their images.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students will create stencils for screen
printed designs and experiment with photo transfer techniques used in screen printing. They will print on paper and
fabric and make usable and wearable art such as t-shirts,
sewn bags, pockets, scarves, etc. Students will look at artwork from other artists who have used screen printing as
their primary art form such as pop artist Andy Warhol. Students may also choose to learn basic techniques on a sewing
machine towards the end of the week.
ACTIVITIES: Students will be working with water-based screen
printing supplies, including ink, squeegees, frames, stenciling material, photo emulsion materials, thread, glue, a sewing
machine and X-acto knives.
