Join textile artist Rachel Stowe for a full-day creative workshop exploring the dynamic art of screen printing. Known for her rich, nature-inspired prints and expressive surface design techniques, Rachel brings her distinctive artistic approach to MAKE Southwest for a one-of-a-kind session on printing onto both fabric and paper.

This hands-on experience offers participants the chance to experiment with colour, texture and layering, using pre-prepared thermofax screens and a variety of resists, stamps, and direct application methods. Whether you are completely new to printmaking or looking to build on your skills, Rachel will guide you through a range of techniques, enabling you to create a selection of your own bespoke designs to take home.

All materials are provided, including a wide range of print tools and surfaces. Attendees are also welcome to bring any lightweight fabrics or papers they would like to experiment with on the day.

Rachel Stowe is celebrated for her unique, handmade textiles, each piece produced as a one-off. Her workshops reflect this ethos, encouraging individuality and playful exploration through mark-making, layering and surface manipulation. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a working artist whose own practice is rooted in originality, craftsmanship and bold creative expression.

 

What You’ll Learn:

  • Introduction to screen printing on paper and fabric

  • How to use thermofax screens and design motifs

  • Tips for layering and colour mixing

  • Creating texture and detail using household objects and found materials

  • Ways to enhance fabric with printing techniques for future sewing or display
