This 8 weeks course is ideal for those who has taken part in our Textiles Printing Level 1 (TP1) course and would like to take their skills to the next level. The primary focus is the use of reactives and acid dyes, which are primarily used in printing on silk and wool.
This course will build upon the screen-printing basics you have learned on TP1, where you will learn how to mix your own reactive and acid dyes, painting the ink/ dye onto your screen, the transfer process and then the finishing process of your printed fabric. You will also learn the intricate process of printing on finer fabrics, i.e. silk.
Participants will get the opportunity to discuss their objectives at the beginning of the course, so subjects learned throughout can be tailored to a specific project or question you have in mind. You will also get plenty tutored/ supervised studio practice time throughout this course, with a peer & tutor critique/ review throughout the course.
There will be plenty time for play & experimentation, with the help of an experienced tutor on hand to ask questions while getting real-time experience of what it’s like to create in a printing studio.
Classes will run every Thursday from 6.30-9.30pm for 8 weeks. (April 28th - June 16th OR October 6th - November 24th)
