Who doesn't love their kid's drawings!?
Well here is an opportunity to hand print your child's artwork onto fabric. A fantastic family heirloom, or gift. Print your own fabric for a cushion or garment. Bring in your own fabric to print on. Or, Cotton Tote bags, pillowcases, linen tea towels available from the studio shop.
This workshop will take you through the basics of screen printing to create a simple coloured background for your child's drawing. Then we will expose your screen with your child's artwork ready to print for the following week.
In advance of this workshop, you will need to email a black and white line drawing of your child's art. I will send an example. This must be a simple line drawing, not coloured or greyscale,
This will be used for your final print onto your chosen fabric.

Organiser of HANDPRINT YOUR KIDS ART ONTO FABRIC
Katie has been working with fabric in one way or another all her life. From clothes to interiors to conceptual art, she has always been fascinated by the power of fabric to transform places, spaces and people. Katie works in her studio in West Auckland, where she is inspired by the wild mash-up of urban industrial spaces and the forest clad Waitakere ranges. She loves synthesising these disparate influences into printable motifs.She relishes in the uniqueness of hand printing and exploring its numerous possibilities. She graduated with an M.A in Textile Art from Goldsmiths University of London, in 1995, and prior to this, she studied textiles at Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin. She likes to keep her work simple, spontaneous and contemporary. She loves sharing her knowledge and passion for textiles and has run numerous print workshops for adult and children. www.smittendesign.co.nz
