This exciting course gives an insight into the skills of hand painting and screenprinting onto a variety of fabrics. You will learn how to devore, dye and print with Procion, print with discharge pastes and use transfer paints and papers. You will also have the opportunity to expose a screen. The course aims to teach students of all abilities and levels of experience and will include an introduction to fashion print and hand painting techniques, provide the confidence to experiment with a variety of fabrics and the opportunity to develop your own ideas. Once these skills are learned, students will be set a project in which they will transfer their designs on to fabric.
