Drawn to Print with Fraser Taylor
This two day workshop at Print Clan with Fraser Taylor will explore the relationship between the hand drawn image and the printed image.
About Drawn to Print with Fraser Taylor
This two day workshop will explore the relationship between the hand drawn and printed image. You will investigate both silk-screen and mono-printing techniques and how they can be used to create a single image and repeat pattern. An experimental approach will be encouraged and you will explore scale, layering and colour. As well as engaging in the physical act of making there will constructive individual and group critiques enabling you to identify and develop a personal and innovative body of work.
What will happen during the course?
Day 1: Fraser Taylor will introduce his work before conducting individual one-to-ones and setting you up for successful production over the weekend. You are encouraged to bring drawings, sketches or images which will prompt a discussion about the appropriateness of image and how best to transfer onto cloth.
Marks, lines, shapes will be drawn directly onto acetate, using a range of opaque materials, before being transferred onto screens. This will allow for a wide range of experimentation on cloth, investigating placement and layering. You will also explore mono-printing which does not require a screen.
Allowing time for experimentation will be vital during this first day as this will provide many ideas which can be developed in day two.
Day 2: You will experiment with transparent and opaque pigments printing on white and coloured cotton. Demonstrations will be given on how an image can be put into repeat and how that can be transferred onto cloth and printed as yardage. Through discussion you will identify what interests you and the remainder of the workshop will allow you to print a length of fabric which satisfies your goals. The intention, purpose and the final use of your printed cloth will also be an important part of our conversation. Fraser will return for the last part of the session to conduct tutorials and lead a concluding group critique, which will constructively allow you to share your experience and provide ideas on how to advance your practice.
What experience do I need?
This is a course for creatives with a passion for printed textiles. You do not need any previous experience but be ready to experiment and learn from Fraser’s wealth of experience in textile printing. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into Fraser’s practice, whilst learning new techniques and immersing yourself in making.
