Planning the details for Printing on Fabric Class – Linda Germain
I am pleased to share that everything is falling into place for the upcoming Fabric Printing Class – Make Monotypes – Focus on Fiber.
The more I explore this process the more excited I get. I love to think of new ways to make marks with unexpected tools.
Working with fabric is much different than paper for me. Basic principles and tools carry over, but there are new challenges and new types of marks to take advantage of.
I have set the dates for the Online Printmaking Workshop, class will start January 12th and run for 4 weeks.
Early Bird Registration will open Friday, November 14th at 8:00 AM EST. So mark your calendars and plan for some printmaking fun this January.
Here is the schedule:
Week 1 – Let’s Get Printing – optimize your workspace, make the gelatin printing plates, find some super simple tools and begin to make the most of your inks and marks
Week 2 – Mask and Transfer delicate marks – choose and preserve natural materials, cut and use stencils to block and transfer ink as desired to create those amazing details that are only possible with this gelatin printmaking process
Week 3 – Make the most of your brayer, identify and create stamping tools that will print best on fabric, transform a small printing plate and create a large printed cloth
Week 4 – Play with painted and brayered abstracts, create textured backgrounds, explore alternative plate use and what to do with less than perfect prints. Identify your strengths and preferences and embrace your new printmaking skills.
Tell me what would you do with all your monoprinted fabric? Would you make quilts, wall hangings, mixed media art, embellish other fibers with it?
Do you ever try something new just to get the creative juices flowing?
