Screenprinting - Imagery & Texture on Fabric

Course Code: ARTS1151

Learn to mix and match your colour palette using environmentally friendly Colour Vie fabric pigments that you will use to print fabrics with imagery of your choice. Make an experimental as well as a permanent photo emulsion silkscreen and learn a variety of techniques for creating artwork. Your silkscreen can be washed and reused, enabling you to print countless colour combinations. Explore fabric texturing and experiment with the application of pigments on cloth by using brushes, foam applicators and scrapers, and build a surface structure for fabrics from scratch. Create textured layers by removing colour and pulling and manipulating the pigments while they are still wet, using a variety of everyday implements and found objects. Enjoy immediate and satisfying results.
