"Water" themed Screen Printing with Azlyn (print with dye) $35 per person

Azlyn 7/1/2014:

In this workshop we will explore printing with fiber reactive dyes. These dyes are vibrant, colorfast, and can have the look of watercolors. If you plan to print with dyes, please bring pre-washed cotton items (fiber reactive dyes do not work on synthetic fibers, so no nylon, polyester, etc). For best results do not include fabric softener in your pre-wash.

We will also have standard water based textile inks available for anyone who prefers them.
