In this workshop we will explore the endless possibilities of working with patterns, and learn how to turn small components into large scale wall installations, wallpaper, or even covering three dimensional objects. We’ll cover multiple methods to create repeatable patterns from participants’ own drawings or photos, that have the potential to be tiled together to create an endless repeat. Participants will also learn the Silkscreen printing process, which gives us the ability to make many multiples of our modular patterns. We will discuss multiple color printing, methods for loose and tight registration, color mixing, and layering pattern and color on the same print. Once participants have made an edition of prints we’ll get them up on the wall and strategize creative ways to display them and options for attaching prints to the wall.
We will contextualize this concept by looking at examples by artists working with repeat pattern and tessellation such as Lanette Scheeline, MC Escher and Julia Rothman and examples from the WSW collection.
