Screen printing with the girls

Fabric printing fun...
Hello again, if you read this blog then you know how much I love fabric printing. I have printed and dyed and made marks on my fabric :) and loved every  minute of it.

Last term we were screen printing, our first pulls were interesting and fun to do and the instant gratification of seeing a design out there in print is amazing. Here it is in pictures...















Are'nt they lovely? So proud of the students for a job well done. Some of these were tea towels, some were embellished and made it as art for their walls...







New term, new projects and a few pictures...

A new term, a short one this time which means lots to get through. This term we explore dyeing... a wonderful subject and one that I love :)
