Two Mondays, Feb. 9th and 16th
5-8 pm
$200 ($180 for members) + $30 material fee for bandanas at work shop.
Ink and other materials included
In this class we will go over everything you need to know to create a one color screen printed peice of art by creating hand drawn designs to print on fabric bandanas. We will spend the first class orienting to the space, looking at examples of creative bandana design and techniques, learning how to create a transparency, beginning our design, and prepping screens. The second portion of our class, you will arrive with a completed design, and we will burn our images, pick out and mix ink and print our bandanas. I will provide a printing demonstration.
The bandanas themselves are 22” x 22” but your image must not exceed 18” so as not to interfere with the hem.
Bandanas in many communities, are used to “signal,” a shared membership, interest or sensibility. I invite you to create a design that reflects your chosen interest group, community, or cause. Are you a bird lover? Are you excited about mycology? Do you want to share your love of Halloween? How might you use this bandana? You can go in any direction with this project but I invite you to use this as an opportunity to show us something about yourself. Symmetry is often a strong design feature in bandana making.
This class includes scheduled studio access during the week in between classes.
Taking this also class waves your orientation fee and gives you proficiency to use the screen printing facilities should you choose to join as a member
Provided: Five 22”x22” cotton Bandanas (you are welcome to purchase more to print, or bring fabric to make your own), ink, Opaque markers, tracing paper.
I suggest purchasing bandanas at https://www.bandanaofthemonth.club
*** These photos are from an exhibition called “The Queer Hanky Project,” where the organizers asked around 100 people in the queer community to create a bandana telling stories about their experiences as queer people in relation to natural systems. The image on the lower right was my contribution to the exhibition, titled “pollinators” ***
