This super awesome workshop was at Model Citizen in Kensington Market. It was taught by the owner, Julian, who is a total rock star and very talented to boot. That's him in number 3. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone remotely interested in printing and/or textile design. It was totally user friendly and you will leave knowing how to create just about anything your heart desires.
- That's Kirsten- she's a gem, showing off her stapling skills. We first had to stretch the screen across a wooden frame- you can buy these premade- but clearly it is WAY cooler to say you know how to make your own!
- I am concentrating very hard here... cutting off excess screen after the stapling extravaganza.
- I just realized these are out of order... this was Julian showing us how to make our images see-through with his secret ingredient... Before this step we covered the screens in a light sensitive glaze and had to put them in a dark room to dry for 20 minutes. That was when we went to...
- The Grilled Cheese which might possibly be one of my favorite lunch spots in the city. I had the Hamlet, which was as good as it looks.
5. When we returned from lunch we "shot" the screens on a light table, rinsed them off and...
6. Started printing!!!
An amazing course with endless possibilities...
