NEW!!! Deconstructed Screen Printing DVD by Kerr Grabowski

You are going to love this DVD! Artist Kerr Grabowski gives very clear instructions, while showing you how to create organic images with the silk screen, through the use of found objects and thickened MX dye. Once the screen is dry, you then print with print paste to release and breakdown the thickened dye. Each pass with the squeegee releases more and more of the dye, and no two consecutive images/patterns will ever be alike. This exciting process of deconstructed screen printing can be done on both fabric and paper! The DVD also has an inspiring section of student work and a Gallery of artists using this process in their own work. There are 2 DVDs, with a runtime of approximately 3½ hours. DSPDVD - $39.95

comprehensive book for learning how dyes work and using them with surface design techniques.
Author Holly Brackmann draws on more than 30 years of experience with dyeing techniques,
providing a wealth of information on dyeing and surface design not found in any book currently in print.

Begin by learning the basics of studio practices and safety measures, appropriate fibers and fabrics, and then move into all aspects of the major dye groups most accessible to studio dyers: fiber reactive, acid, vat, and disperse. The dyes are then used to alter and change surfaces by discharging, screen printing, monoprinting, stamping, stenciling, resist dyeing, dévoré, and painting.
Then learn how to embellish your fabric with foiling, embroidery, beadwork, or collage.

Recipes for dyes and techniques covered in the book are accompanied by step-by-step instructions and process photographs, making them clear and easy to follow.

The hardback format with concealed spiral binding makes The Surface Designer’s Handbook easy to use.
The dye worksheet can be used to calculate and record dyes, chemicals, procedures, and costs for all dye projects. Color photos of works from some of the top fiber artists today that are included throughout the
book are certain to inspire artists of any background.

The Surface Designer’s Handbook will appeal to a wide audience of students, teachers, hobbyists, or beginner surface design artists. Whether you’re an experienced dyer or surface designer or you’re just starting out, this book is certain to become your essential reference tool!
