This was a workshop being run yesterday by Art Van Go. As they are in Knebworth and I am working at Duxford (about 30 minutes away) I thought I would go along for a play.
One colour was added using a roller directly onto the fabric or by using a variety of mono-print techniques. We rolled out the fabric paint onto a sheet of plastic, made marks in the paint and then printed this onto the fabric. The paint was sandwiched between two plates which were then printed onto the fabric. Stencils were also used.
The masking tape now needs removing again but as I want to keep and perhaps use the tape I will wait until I get home before doing this.
The first thing we did was to grid up the white fabric with masking tape

When the paint was dry we removed the masking tape
The masking tape was saved to be reused
This masking tape was then repositioned on the fabric
A second colour was added

In between printing on fabric we practiced on paper and also made sure that all paint was used up so that none was washed away.
