Learn to print your designs with manual silkscreen techniques
In Print Workers - the "print club" founded by Àlex Costa, dedicated to the art of printing - they are convinced that screen printing is a tool of democratic creation, since it allows access to artisan creation with little infrastructure. From their workshop (an authentic screen printing gym) they have worked for festivals, illustrators and brands doing works of all sizes in limited editions. They have also opened their doors to other creatives to develop their projects in their space.
If you have the opportunity to visit their charismatic space in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, you will discover that they continually offer face-to-face courses, to which you can sign up through their website, and thus carry out an edition of your own design in a 100% professional manner. paper and textiles through photographic screen printing.
However, for this the first course with Domestika, they have prepared a totally manual course for you without the need to use photographic techniques.
Stefania Lusini, graphic designer, illustrator and member of Print Workers, will teach you, in this course, to create unique patterns for printing fabrics and fabrics by hand. In a simple and intuitive way, you will discover how to transfer your designs to the fabric with an artisan technique, without infrastructure or specific materials.
