Discover the joyful unpredictability of breakdown printing in this hands‑on, beginner‑friendly workshop at IDC’s new Textile Room. This expressive surface‑design technique transforms thickened dyes, texture, and time into beautifully layered, organic prints — no two outcomes are ever the same.
Across the day, you’ll learn how to:
- Build textured screens using everyday objects and mark‑making tools
- Prepare dyes and create your own breakdown plates
- Print layered, evolving patterns onto fabric
- Embrace the element of surprise as the screen releases colour gradually
- Develop a small collection of unique printed cloth to take home
This workshop is perfect for complete beginners, returning makers, and anyone who loves colour, texture, and a bit of creative chaos. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a stack of expressive fabrics ready for stitch, collage, or further development.
