A mid century adventure for (new) fabric printers
Stencil printing class for new and intermediate printers
If you love to print on fabric or if you want to learn how to print and love simplicity and colour this is a class for you. You can use this class to learn different techniques of stencil printing and if you are a a more experienced printer you can use this class as a way to go on a new adventure as an art practice. In this class we are really diving into the design language of the sixties and seventies. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Mid Century fan or not, we are going to take a few elements of this style and make them our own. We will be doing a lot of playing with these shapes, making a variety of patterns with them. And when you’re done playing and you’ve made a pattern you are happy with, the class project is making a cushion with it, if you want to make one (instructions are included).
If you have taken my first class this one will be perfect to step up your skills and expand your style. If you haven’t you can take this one first, it has everything you need to get started.
