Preamble
This blogspot exhibits many of my students outputs from a variety of workshops. There are one, two and five day workshops as well as workshops that have a different focus. Nevertheless, it always surprises me how much I learn from my students and how enthusiastic they are to learn and so for your convenience, I have listed the workshop posts below.

Introduction
Using fewer steps than traditional screen printing, deconstructed and polychromatic screen printing offers the beginner as well as the experienced artist the same flexibility and spontaneity as paint to fabric or paper, with the added result of more than one image.
Polychromatic Printing (PP) is a combination of water color painting and screen printing developed by Joy Stocksdale. By painting directly onto a silk screen with concentrated dyes, the artist can achieve multi colored images, which can be printed on fabric or paper. Using release paste, one pull of the squeegee releases the dyes onto the substrate surface. A series of multiple prints can be obtained, which results in a limited edition of mono style prints with each print becoming a paler rendition of the prior print.
Known for her innovative approaches to dyeing and screen printing processes, Kerr Grabowski developed Deconstructed Screen Printing (DSP), a printing/monoprint technique, which allows for a freer, more painterly approach to screen printing. Printing with thickened dyes over low relief textured surfaces the dye is allowed to dry in the silk screen then printed onto fabric using release paste. The paste gradually dissolves the dried dye, which results in the image “deconstructing” as successive prints are created. No two prints are ever the same and the resultant distressed and disintegrating prints are rich in color, texture and pattern.
Claire Benn and Lesley Morgan have developed Breakdown Printing (BP). Similar to DSP, it varies in that much thicker quantities of dye are layered onto the back of the silk screen. Both low relief and heavily embossed textures can be impressed into the wet dye and left in the screen to dry.
All these techniques can be used individually or combined to create a rich array of complex color, marks, textures and layered imagery. The resulting fabric may be used as an individual work or a point of departure for further embellishment.
Two Day Workshop Synopsis
This workshop was organized by Marion Hera-Gorr of Beautiful Silks. It was held at Beautiful Silks at 101 Victoria Street, Fitzroy in Melbourne, Victoria from the 20th - 21stMarch 2010.
Participants - who attended this fun and exciting workshop - were Alison Durham, Alison Withers, Gayle Gissing, Jeanette Wilkinson, Madeleine Zegir, Marea McGuire, Rhonda Nadasdy, Robyn Faris, Ruth Zegir, and Sherrie T Jewson.
In this two day workshop titled, “In Pursuit of ArtCloth: Deconstructed & Polychromatic Screen Printing Introductory Course”, participants learnt to create texture and imagery using the resist properties of dried thickened dye on a silk screen creating successive deconstructed organic prints. In unison with deconstructed screen printing (DSP) they investigated the painterly and spontaneous imaging created using polychromatic printing (PP) techniques. As well as the DSP and PP techniques, they also explored and worked on a “breakdown” printed series of images creating lush colors and exciting textures.
