Repeating Pattern Printing with Cassie McGettigan
Date: Sunday & Monday, October 13 & 14
Time: 10am - 4pm MT both days
Location: Power and Light Press
Price: $300
Max Participants: 10
Workshop Description:
A pattern can be a language, a puzzle, a labyrinth; it need not be a mystery. Come, let's crack the code! In this immersive workshop, we will learn how to engineer, register, and print 4-way repeating patterns on fabric.
On our first day together, participants will be introduced to the process of transforming an abstract mark into a bold all-over pattern or a carefully observed drawing into a climbing floral design. We’ll cover fundamental structures, such as straight repeats, half-drop repeats, and mirrored tiles, and various approaches to developing repeating units.
The following day, we will consider multiple methods for printing our designs, including the use of commonplace and recycled materials and how to carve custom linoleum blocks. Then we will learn to register and print our designs on fabric. Participants will make several experimental samplers and a short run of a finished design on a T-shirt or length of cotton fabric.
