SUBLIMATION

In this workshop, we will draw and mark-make using a wide range of colourful liquid disperse dyes onto paper, techniques include hand painting, screen printing, and relief printing. The dyed papers are then transferred onto fabric using a heat press. Colours can be layered, and flat objects or stencils can be used as resists to create varied textures and effects. The workshop also includes experimentation with ready-made sublimation papers, which may be ripped, scrunched, or combined with hand-cut stencils to create unique printed designs onto fabric. All materials will be provided in this workshop, and participants are encouraged to explore any materials they may have at home for printing during the session.
