SUMMARY:Upcycled Fabric Printmaking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun-filled day of linocut printmaking on upcycled fabric! \nBreathe new life into your old fabrics! Bring your old cotton fabrics (t-shirts\, tote bags\, etc.) and learn how to create and print original Linocut images onto them. Please bring reference photos\, designs and sketches for inspiration; we’ll be carving a 4 x 6 inch lino block\, so your image will need to fit those dimensions. \nA few tips on what type of fabric to bring:\n \n\n100% cotton is best; avoid any synthetic fibres as the ink will not bond properly.\nA smooth\, fine woven fabric is preferable to coarse woven fabric.\n\nWe’ll be using oil-based inks that are water washable. This eliminates the use of cleaning solvents\, however\, the ink still has a mild scent of Linseed oil.\n \nOil based ink takes about a week to dry. We will provide boxes for you to pin your fabric\, so it can be carried safely to your car. If you travel by TTC\, leave your fabrics with us and pick them up at a later date once they’re dry.\n \nSaturday\, April 25\, 1 to 4 p.m.\nPublic $75\, TBG Members $65 (plus applicable taxes and fees)\nAbout Alan Li\nArtist and conservationist Alan Li uses pencils\, ink and paint to document the wonders of the natural world.
