ONSITE: The Magic of Discharge Printing
Adult Intensive | This class is completed
Use low-tech printing techniques such as stencil, stamp and texture plates to print fabric with a paste that removes color (not bleach). It really is like magic! Starting with black and colored fabrics learn about repeats and compositional printing. This approach to printing will be immediate and simple. It is perfect for beginners or experienced fiber students. Your finished fabrics can be used in home furnishing, clothing, and quilting projects.
