Screen printing workshop with the artist María Ramírez
IVAM Estiu
There are two basic, simple premises behind this workshop: to enjoy ourselves, and to experiment with textile screenprinting. Alberto Feijóo and María Ramírez have asked participants to bring their own items of clothing to print works of each of theirs onto.
Two complementary serigraphic techniques will be developed: the monoprint, firstly, and onto it, a traditional screen print of an image by Alberto Feijóo.
*It is important for participants in this workshop to bring clothing or smooth textiles from home.
