Overview
The sessions are structured to support the development of your own creative projects, with ongoing guidance and feedback from the creative practitioner; Helen Greensmith. The Textile Design and Print course workshops at Robert Gordon University are designed to support those working at both beginner and intermediate levels.
Features
Throughout the workshops, you’ll create your own design to apply across various printing processes, with a focus on composition and colour palette. You’ll also learn how to create design ‘separations’ and expose your design(s) onto a textile screen.
Programme Structure
What you will learn:
- Each week, you’ll be introduced to different techniques for transferring your designs onto fabric, including metallic adhesives and foils for metallic effects, puff binder for texture, dyes and pastes for painterly effects on silk, and discharge printing on black fabric to produce white-on-black designs.
- You’ll also experiment with layering, combining paper stencils with screen prints to create more intricate compositions.
- You will also be introduced to devore printing; a technique where one fibre in a mixed-fibre fabric is burned or dissolved.
- This process creates a pattern where parts of the fabric remain intact, while other areas become more open, revealing different textures in the fabric.
