Consider this an instructional ridealong!

No experience strictly necessary but some natural dye know-how will provide additional context.

Graham regularly collaborates with artists to produce limited runs of naturally-dyed screen and block printed artwork. This two-day session is a unique opportunity. Unlike a typical workshop where specific instruction is given on a topic, this will be more akin to an apprenticeship or shadowing opportunity where we explore printing in multiple - a 50-100 piece edition of an artist collaboration print.

You will be working hands-on! In an environment of free exchange of information, Graham will be answering questions and guiding the events of the day as we work together through the process of actually printing a limited edition of an artist's design.

You'll have the opportunity to execute some printing and generally get your hands dirty in various steps of the process.

These sessions will allow just 3 attendees maximum to join Graham as he works through the typical production cycle for an artist print. Creating a single print or work has different considerations from creating multiple pieces. We will work through the following:

  • Sourcing Materials

  • Color Separation for multi-color works

  • Screen Selection and Size

  • Fabric preparation and handling

  • Pre-Print Planning

  • Mordant mixing and print-medium thickening

  • Print process - maneuvering materials and working with larger squeegees

  • Batch Dyeing and Color Planning

  • Post-dye fabric treatments and preparation for packaging

  • Finishing and packaging goods for sale
