We are delighted to have Dionne Swift running this one-day workshop for us. This course will differ from our 'Textile Printing for Beginners' course by teaching you how to use experimental and innovative processes such as Manutex Monoprinting and breakdown printing, using pigments and dyes, to produce your own printed samples to take away and develop further. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to learn from a leading textile artist in a professional workshop set-up.

This workshop is perfect for those who want to develop their textile printing skills further, or who want to learn screen printing techniques that can easily be used at home or in the studio.  Dyes and materials are included in the cost of the workshop - we will be using plain weave cottons - you may wish to also bring your own cloth to experiment with. It's the perfect workshop for Textile teachers and enthusiasts as it kick starts a desire for surface pattern and the production of unique cloth, whilst at the same time reducing reliance on expensive equipment and products.

Dionne Swift recently won the 2011 Craft and Design selected award for Textiles and Needlework. She studied embroidery at Goldsmith's College and exhibits her work nationally and internationally. Visit her website here: www.dionneswift.co.uk

Some basic knowledge of screen printing is preferred but not essential.
