In person / Workshop / Printing
Cynthia Director is hosting a workshop in Upcycling with Screen Printing. We will start with a talk about how one can embellish old or existing textile items from around the house (tea towels, napkins, placemats, second hand garments, clothes) and give them a new life with some surface techniques.
After the talk, Cynthia will give a demonstration on screen printing. At this point, participants can start experimenting with screen printing. All inks are water-based.
Please bring some old fabric and clothes so you can update them with screen printing.
