Screenprinting

I spent the weekend screen-printing at the beautiful Ink and Spindle studio in Kensington. What a space  to work in - I loved every second of it. 
Lara from Harvest Textiles runs the course and she is a brilliant teacher. We had lots of tea, lovely chats, and worked really hard. I am sore but happy!

We learnt about drawing designs, creating stencils for screens, tracing designs, cutting them out, and creating a continuos fabric design. We also learnt how to mix colours and print, too!

Here's our first round of designs, stencils drying on the beautiful printing table.

The lovely Lara!
