C-Summer 2018 – Weekend Intensive: Print, Pattern + Textiles

WEEKEND INTENSIVE: PRINT, PATTERN + TEXTILES
Kaitlin Trataris
4 sessions >> August 4, 5, 11, 12
11am–3pm
12–6pm, Studios 1, 2, 105, $295
No prerequisite.

This weekend intensive expands the process of silkscreen printing from paper to fabric and from flat forms to sculptures. Learn the specifics of silkscreen printing on textiles using traditional (emulsion based) and experimental (reduction and transfer) printing methods with a focus on registration, ink selection, and printing techniques on textiles. Further transform your imagery into sculptures by experimenting with the 2D image turned to 3D form. Basic sculpture principles and techniques will be covered including demos specific to methods of sculpting with fabric (sewing, stiffening, hanging). The class will culminate in a group discussion to reflect on your work and experiments!

What materials (if any) will I need to bring to class?
Each course requires specific materials that we ask you bring to your first class session so you can get started making right away.

All classes, unless otherwise noted, meet at 800 Chestnut Street, between Jones and Leavenworth. You can find directions to campus on the SFAI website.

SFAI is located in a residential neighborhood, and free two-hour parking is available on all of the streets immediately surrounding the school. The two-hour restriction cuts off at 9 pm, so evening Public Education students do not need to move their car, unless you arrive prior to 7 pm.
