Just Silkscreens is just that – Silkscreens! We will exhaust every way to use silkscreen in printing cloth in the time we have. Working in fiber reactive dyes, our prints will leave your work with the same original hand, so that you can use the fabric for apparel or art quilts. We’ll use stencils, paper barriers, Tyvek shapes, dirty screens, clear screens, and screening to monoprint and everything in combination. All levels; some experience with dyes helpful but not required.
