FLOCK
Flock is a velvet-like material that can be applied to paper or fabric using heat. In this workshop, printers can explore different colours hand-painting and mark-making onto the flocked surface using procion dyes. Once dry and designs created the flock is then transferred onto a textile surface. Designs can be hand-painted or screen-printed with adhesive glue, then heat-pressed onto fabric, leaving a textured surface.
