Firstly the workshop participants cut out paper stencils based on previous sketches they had made and printed these onto fabric, using screen mesh stretched in an embroidery hoop as a screen and printing with fabric paint:
Then participants prepared second screens using drawing fluid and screen filler stencils, and printed these as a second layer on their textile prints:
Some more prints:
...and more:
...and a selection of the final prints laid out on a table:
The aim was for participants to try out handmade screenprinting, and to make the base for a textile artwork that could be added to with embroidery or worked on further if the artist wishes.
The workshop participants came mostly from the Peebles Creative Space art group which meets regularly with their teacher, artist Claire Blyth. They all worked hard throughout the workshop and I think they made a variety of beautiful and original textile prints.
