Theme: A Print to Wake Up To; AR303 Screenprinting; Screenprint and natural dyes (L black bean and beetroot, R black walnut) with bleaching; Approximately 7’x4′; 2018
This project slakes the thirst of most incoming screenprint students to print t-shirts by first making them create a large format repeatable image printed onto bed sheets or other fabric. Students gain experience printing on fabric while avoiding the superficiality of ephemeral apparel designs. Students also learned basic, nontoxic dyeing techniques.
