Workshop with Kathryn Green: Screenprinted Textiles - Layering Colour and Pattern


  • West Dean College Chichester PO18 0QZ West Sussex UK (map)

Kathryn Green creates multi-layered textiles using a rich palette of techniques to achieve her complex, shimmering pieces. Having obtained a first-class degree in textiles, she went on to qualify as a tutor, taught in further & higher education for several years and now teaches regularly from her studio and various other venues. Since graduating Kathryn has continued to develop her approach to textiles, specialising in textile print and dye processes. 

This workshop will explore the use of procion dyes for screenprinting and mark-making on cloth. Through the exploration and experimentation of a range of processes you will develop an understanding of layering and colour mixing, pattern and surface texture.

You will create a series of samples and fabric pieces that will form a reference library for future experiments and create starting points for your personal creative development. Using a silk screen as the main medium, you will explore how to build up surface texture and layers of colour by printing with a variety of techniques and temporary resists, including breakdown printing onto fabric.
