On this course you will have the opportunity to: • Design and make blocks using immediate techniques before moving on to create Vinyl and Linocut blocks. • Screenprint onto fabric using paper cut stencils and creative mark making techniques, before moving on to make direct stencils using the photographic exposure process. • Experiment with mark making and layering colour by using the painterly process of Monoprinting. • Explore working with Cyanotype on fabric using found materials and acetate overlays. • Try printing with natural dyes • Use vibrant colour and overprinting to combine techniques together to add texture and depth to your work. Learn how to register to create repeat or placement patterns. Summer school has a loose structure based around the following topics.
