Print & Stitch: Developing Textile Artwork

In this intermediate-level workshop, participants will explore the creative crossover between print and stitch. Working with two A3 screens, each person will design and print onto a piece of natural fabric using stencil-based screen printing techniques.

Participants will begin by creating paper stencils to develop layered imagery, exploring colour, texture, and composition through multiple prints. Once their printed fabrics are complete, they will build texture, add highlights, or reconstruct their prints into new compositions using hand embroidery and appliqué.

The session encourages experimentation and personal expression, with space for participants to build on imagery or themes from their own creative practice. Each participant will design, print, and plan a textile art piece that can be further developed beyond the workshop.
