About
Take your introductory class — where you learned the art of block printing and creating repeat patterns by confining your design to a square — to the next level by using other shapes (triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, etc.) and additional colors, combining a completely different block design, and even using a key block for greater variability. The results provide even greater opportunities for variations in repeating patterns. While printing with other shapes requires greater focus, you'll practice and build creative confidence and skills in printing new designs.
You'll once again take home hand-printed fabric with your own unique design along with the skills to continue exploring the process beyond the workshop at home or BARN. Sewing will not be a part of the instruction but suggestions may be offered.
Materials
- A $60 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers the materials you'll need.
- You should bring:
- Two or three clear plastic deli containers with tight-fitting lids for mixing pigments.
- Apron and/or work clothes (pigments stain clothes).
- Sketchbook and pencil with eraser.
