In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of screenprinting controlled repeat patterns onto fabric yardage or paper. We will cover photo emulsion-based screenprinting as well as how to design a repeat pattern and the specific setup for printing on a 16’ table. Participants will create at least two two-color patterns, with the potential to do more as time and energy allow. We will work collaboratively to print together, as this technical process requires at least four hands. We will dip our toes in some of the subversive potential of textiles and patterns, but participants are welcome to create designs on any theme or abstraction they like.
