Blockprinting on Fabric: Make a Bandana
Join printmaker and textile artist Eliza West for an introduction to block printing on fabric. You will learn how to design and carve a small block to print well on fabric, get comfortable rolling out and applying Speedball fabric ink to blocks, think through composing an appealing design with your block, and learn tips and tricks for getting good prints on fabric. You will leave the class with your hand-carved block and at least one printed bandana in a color of your choice.
Sliding scale $60-130 per person. Max 8 participants.
All materials, including scrap fabric and one blank red cotton bandana, included in registration fee.
