In this one-day taster workshop at Morley College Chelsea Centre for the Creative Industries, you’ll screen print your own contemporary Bauhaus-inspired scarf: a neatly hemmed square of fabric ready for printing. Expect clean lines, graphic shapes, and punchy primary colours, with the option to add metallic accents for extra sheen.
You’ll work with a set of pre-prepared photo-stencil screens featuring bold motifs — stripes, polka dots, triangles, squares, brush marks, and textured elements — and you’ll also create your own hand-cut paper stencils to personalise your design. Combine, layer, and experiment: build background patterns, drop in statement motifs, and develop a scarf that feels both playful and sharply designed.
We’ll be printing with water-based textile pigments (translucent, opaque, and metallic), suitable for cotton and/or silkscarves depending on availability. No experience needed — just a willingness to get hands-on and make something striking.
