Workshop
Cynthia Director is hosting a workshop in Upcycling with Block & Screen Print. This event will start with a talk about how one can embellish old or existing textile items around the house (tea towels, napkins, placemats, second hand garments, clothes) and give them a new life with some surface techniques.
After the talk, Cynthia will give a demonstration on how to create surface patterns using: block prints (sourced from India) and screen prints. All inks are water-based.
At this point, the participants can decide which techniques they want to use to reimagine their home textile item or garment.
