Screen Printed Quilted Coasters / Mini Wall Hanging
Join textile designer Millie Rothera and create your own screen printed, quilted coasters or mini wall hanging!
You will explore colour, pattern and quilting, and learn how to turn your fabric into a set of coasters or mini wall hanging. All skills that you can continue developing at home.
In this introductory workshop Millie will use her eleven years of printing and textile experience to guide you through each step to creating your own designed, printed and stitched coasters or mini wall hanging. To start the workshop you will design your own pattern motifs, choose the colour for printing, mix your colour using pigments and print your design onto fabric using a paper stencil, silk screen and squeegees. We will then heat set your design once it has dried and stitch your fabric into a set of coasters or mini wall hanging.
You don’t need any screen printing experience but basic knowledge of hand stitching would be beneficial.
Participants will be shown demonstrations as well as have guided one-to-one help and advice on how to achieve the best results.
The workshop will involve:
· Introduction to the basic tools needed to screen print and quilt
· Designing motifs through drawing
· Cutting the motifs from paper
· Choosing a colour to print with the help of colour cards
· Learning how to mix your chosen colour
· Screen printing onto fabric
· Hand stitch and quilt your coasters or mini wall hanging
Skill Level: Suitable for all skill levels.
Cost: £40 per person (includes materials and equipment use).
