Surface design projects: repeated imagery

[labricoleuse]

The folks in dye class have presented their most recent projects which i've photographed to share. The subject was the range of techniques for repetition of images on fabric surfaces. We discussed stencils, block prints/stamping, screenprinting/seriography, and transfer films and media. The students choose two of the techniques covered and are required to create a given number of repeats. They may choose to create yardage or some sort of wearable.



Sachi Denison created these print blocks
inspired by traditional Thai embroidery designs.


Shanna Parks screenprinted Production Staff shirts for
American University's Greenberg Theatre.


Shanna also stenciled a border motif onto a skirt layout
which she plans to assemble into a finished garment for another class.


Amy A. Page created logo t-shirts for the band Neighbors' Acres.


Randy Handley created this border-print yardage (left)
