Upcycling with Screen Printing
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.
Cynthia Director is a fashion and home textile designer and educator based in New York City and New Delhi. She has lived and worked in India for over a decade. Cynthia currently teaches screen printing for textile design at FIT, consults with home textile design businesses, and has a home decor textile line of craft based products. She received her MA in sustainable textiles from University of the Arts London: Chelsea, and her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design.
Silk Squares - bridge between past and future , seen and imagined
Online / Talk / Printing
Intangible cultural heritage is a significant resource that is regenerated through the process of sharing. Silk squares serve as both containers of stories and sources of inspiration for new ones. The motifs on these squares are created by the artists' personal experiences with cultural heritage and the beauty of nature. They offer us a threshold to be seen, touched, and worn, while also inviting reflection and the creation of new future stories.
You are kindly invited to join us online where the project will be presented by the founder Lidija Drobez, and a participant, who will share own experience.
There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.

The mission is to contribute to preserving the connection to creativity and the precious knowledge of past generations, while promoting the creativity and sensitivity for the future.
The desire is to provide you with a special experience that is intertwined with the environment and time that is encapsulated in the artwork and has practical and sustainable value.
Pieces of art created by Slovene artists on silk squares tell stories of the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Slovenia. Squares are media for empowering storytelling.
