Introduction To “Complex Cloth” Printing Information
"Complex Cloth" is created using surface design processes like dyeing, color removal and/or discharge, painting, printing and foiling on natural fibers. Layered imagery is developed using traditional printmaking methods of silkscreen printing, stamping, stenciling, lino-block printing, transfer printing, hand painting, and digital imaging to create cloth of rich visual depth and complexity.
Fibers that are commonly used for the creation of complex cloth include: cotton, silk, rayon, hemp, linen, bamboo silk and various blends and weights of these fibers. This workshop explored print imaging techniques on silk and on felt. Felt being a fiber that is not commonly printed using complex cloth processes.

One-Day Workshop Synopsis
This workshop was organized by Narelle Higgins, workshop co-ordinator of The Victorian Feltmakers Inc. in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The workshop was held at the Hartwell Church Hall, Hartwell on the 15th May 2011. Olivia Beaman, Rita Caspersz, Laziza Hawkins, Heather Hillman, Marg Hogan, Judith Latham, June Paterson, Christine Smith and Gay Staurup attended the workshop.
In this one-day workshop, participants learnt how to create unique, one-of-a-kind printed fabrics and printed personalized imagery employing a variety of techniques. Using a variety of printing tools, processes, color combinations and pant media, participants were introduced to the underlying principles of color, contrast, value and scale employed in the creation of ArtCloth using fabric paints on mainly felted and some silk fibers. The workshop also explored and encouraged participants to think about the nuances of the color and design relationship via discussion and examples.

Great class samples - looks to be another interesting workshop.
I enjoyed trying your low relief screen printing method & posted a couple of pics on my blog.
