Description
STENCIL, SCREEN PRINTING, FABRIC
Originally used for advertising and textile printing, screen printing became an important pop art technique thanks to artists such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Warhol used screen printing to reproduce motifs in series. Haring used it, for example, in his “Apocalypse” series, which he designed with William S. Burroughs.
In the workshop you will learn the technique of screen printing. We will cut our own stencils and print them on fabric bags (if available). You are also welcome to bring shirts, bags and other textiles. Note that our inks adhere best to natural fabrics. By these means, you can create your own wearable works of art.
The workshop will take place in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by the artist Tabitha Nagy.
THE OPEN FACTORY
Every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., the intergenerational drop-in format “Open Factory” provides the right setting to get creative with the whole family or with friends. Changing techniques and themes entice you to take part in varied artistic projects, and to stroll through the exhibitions. Whether drawing, painting, using different printing techniques or dancing, whether analog, digital or hybrid—we will take you into the world of colors and shapes and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
