Join Laura is this video to see how she’s been experimenting with a technique that transfers drawings onto fabric using a silkscreen. She’s tried a range of printing mediums and shares with you her favourite. This is a fun technique that captures the essence of a hand drawn image but gives it the quality of a print.
Learn how to create one-of-a-kind printed fabrics using a fabulous screen printing method with stencils, then overprint with monoprinting to add graphic marks. Laura will then guide you through planning piecing ideas in your sketchbook before sharing her tips for quilting the results.
Combining techniques is something that we love, so in this video workshop I’ll show you how I’m adding piecing to the screenprint/monoprints we’ve made previously. Join me as I show you how you can experiment with piecing designs in your sketchbook to explore placement and contrast, and I’ll talk you through some of the many questions I ask myself when planning a piece of work.
