In this two-day workshop with TALA member Carrie Burckle, participants will learn the fundamentals of pattern design and repeat along with the basics of screen printing on textiles. Through playful experimentation with color mixing, layering, and composition, we’ll explore how movement and depth can emerge within patterned designs.
Saturday will focus on exploring pattern ideas, color combinations, and printing techniques as you experiment with layouts and layered designs. On Sunday (10am-3pm), participants will use what they’ve learned to complete a coordinated set of hand-printed table linens.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have printed four linen placemats and four napkins, creating a one-of-a-kind set ready for gatherings, celebrations, or everyday use. Along the way, you’ll develop original pattern designs and gain the knowledge and confidence to continue printing on textiles at home.
No prior experience is necessary, but participants must be able to use an X-Acto knife to cut shapes from acetate, pull a squeegee by hand, and stand for several hours while printing.
