Deconstructed Screen Printing - Intuition, Accident and Technique
Kerr Grabowski
Skill level for participants:
No screen printing experience necessary
Explore a different facet of screen printing on fabric; the unpredictable, the intuitive, the “happy accident”. Using fiber reactive dyes, deconstructed printing, “solar” discharge, and polychromatic printing, experiment with the silkscreen as a painting and monoprinting tool to create fabrics of depth, texture and personal imagery. The resulting fabric may be used as an end in itself or a point of departure for further embellishment.
In addition to demonstrations and hands on work, each day will include a series of small, spontaneous compositions serving as vehicles for further exploration
