We’ll start with a range of fundamental techniques and progress through some advanced effects.  It will be creative, it will be fun, you will love it!

Cost: $155 (includes snacks and materials – you just need brushes/palette/water jar)

Fashion Illustration for Digital Textile Printing 

Workshop (February 6th)

This workshop is a collaboration between The Drawing Salon and Frankie and Swiss, the fabulous boutique textile printers whose beautiful venue The Salon’s classes are held in.  Spend the day enjoying a Fashion Illustration workshop, experimenting with inks and watercolours to produce an artwork which you can then have applied to your choice of textile product.  Frankie and Swiss will be on hand to demonstrate the process of scanning an original artwork, preparing it for printing, then printing it out onto fabric using “Florence”, their digital printing machine.Over the weekend, I will scan and prepare your artwork and on Monday Frankie and Swiss will put your print into work.  Within 2 weeks your product will be delivered to you.  If you love it so much that you want to have one made for everyone that you know, or you want to start your own cushion/tote bag/tea towel empire, you can also order more! (Please note you can order more up front for a separate fee straight to Frankie and Swiss – email me for pricing – wholesale prices apply to orders of 6 or more.)
