Digital Print On Textiles Short Course

The Digital Print on Textiles Short Course teaches students how to design and print using a large format digital printer. Photoshop and Illustrator are used to manipulate images and the resulting designs are printed on both digital and sublimation printers. Students are given an insight into techniques currently used in industry and will finish the course with a range of design samples printed on a variety of textiles. The aim is to encourage students to produce work that will make a unique addition to a portfolio and offer a new dimension to their existing textile abilities. Topics covered include: • Using a digital printer as well as using heat transfer • Sublimation print techniques • Use of appropriate textiles will be discussed • Whenever possible, the course will include a visit to an exhibition to look at designers' works
