Rachael & Andrew Lean booked the studio for
the day for some technical support with Suki.
Corrian Phang from Simon Langtons Girls
Grammar School in Canterbury joined them for
a full days screen printing using paper
stencils/photo stencils and drawing fluid.
These are some examples of what they achieved.
The Print Block held a 2 day Indigo dyeing workshop
this week with London based textile artist Lu Firth.
Lu specialises in Shibori, Batik & Indigo dyed
textiles which she makes into a range of beautiful
dresses, blouses, kimones and scarves. These are a
some lovely examples of what the students achieved
on the first day.
For this weeks Hang Me Up we have chosen
this lovely fabric sample by print block
member Mathew May. Mathew has been busy
working in the studio on a large collection
of fabric samples for the fashion industry.
These are a selection of screen prints which were
produced by students on our last course before we
close the studio for our summer break. They
experimented with paper stencils, drawing fluid,
photographic stencils, blends and transparent inks
sometimes combining processes. Well done everyone!
Our next courses will begin again in September
please see our website for further details.
