Screen Printing: Layering Textiles with Color, Texture & Imagery is...
… a wonderful workshop for both beginning surface design artists as well as presenting some new challenges and opportunities for more advance textile artists.

A silkscreen can be a remarkably versatile tool in the hands of an enquiring mind and an attitude of curiosity. Endless possibilities exist in terms of line, shape and texture. Capable of perfect precision and repeat patterning, the screen can also create marvelously organic, fun and spontaneous results.Â
Many of the examples shown in this book have been printed (sometimes as a single layer, sometimes with many layers), but some have also been over- dyed, scraped with thickened dye paint, painted with thin dye paint and so forth. Creating cloth that has complexity and depth will usually mean that you’ll use multiple processes or approaches, so think about what’s right for each individual piece, don’t just reach for the screen because you feel like it.
Screen Printing Step by Step
Let’s have a look at the Flipbook —
