This course enables students with some experience of printed textiles to explore and learn how to mix colour and paint with disperse dyes and create stencils with disperse papers to create a resolved body of textile designs underpinned by students own ideas and research. Students will learn how to use a heat press machine to transfer imagery onto fabric and which fabrics to use when printing with disperse dyes and will combine this new technique with previously learnt screen-printing skills to design prints for furnishing or fashion fabric.
