Digital fabric printing London

This digital textile printing course will introduce digital print for textiles, using the latest in digital printing technology. Digital printing offers fast paced results with visual impact. Unlike conventional printing methods, it enables your designs to be reproduced accurately and without the loss of subtle or intricate detailing.

Throughout the course you will develop your own ideas using a variety of media sources: drawings, painting or photography, as a starting point. You will subsequently manipulate your ideas in Photoshop before finally digitally printing your design onto fabric. On completion of this course you will have a finished print of your artwork along with your digital creation on a scarf or length of fabric.

The course includes:

• Research techniques
• Exploring different media
• Research development
• Creating mood boards for colour selection
• Fabric awareness

• Use of latest digital printers
• Visit to a textile bureau

Level:
