Screen Printing workshop at the E.G with Ricki Outis

This was another really enjoyable workshop with the Lutterworth E.G. where the tutor was Ricki Outis.
I decided to stick with one motif for the whole session and chose to work with a pear.
Then this was used for various techniques. Firstly I drew and cut out a pear shape in paper and screened with the stencil or with the cut out pear or a combination. We tried layering in different ways. Drew directly on the screen with charcoal and then screened that. Finally I stencilled the motif several times on the bottom of a cotton drill apron.
These are all now heat set and waiting for stitching to be added.... I will blog about those later.
meantime here is a selection of the work from everyone while it was drying on the line outside.

 
Above is my pear apron

 
Here are two pulls of my charcoal image and a third which is very feint but I have overprinted it.

  3. Dorothy, those are really fun and I love the pear idea. I love printing, though mine is usually done on paper, and these are going to give you a lot of directions to go one further...

    1. Hi Jordi, Thank you, it was a most enjoyable workshop and good to hear an expert's opinion! :-)
      I am going to take them with me to Grasmere to work on some more. I want to do some on paper too, but that will have to wait a little while as I am working on my house book at the moment.
