Introduction
  This workshop is delivered in four sessions, familiarizing participants with the processes required for textile printing and producing sample two colour prints.
  Session one will cover the preparatory steps for screen-printing – methods of preparing artwork, coating and exposing the screen. The session will be a combination of demonstration and studio practice.
  Session two will consider the process of printing – mixing dyestuffs, selecting textiles and the printing process. Between sessions two and three, participants will be expected to source or create a motif to be used to create sample prints. The workshop leader will be available at Tashkeel during the week to provide support.
  Session three will cover the manipulation of the motif to create a simple repeat print and the preparation of screens. During session four, participants will experiment with printing on a range of different textiles, incorporating alternative methods of manipulating the print, as appropriate.
