Art Workshop - Beyond the Screen: Anti-Edition Monoprinting for Fabric & Wearables

What we wear offers us a vehicle for outward expression. But in a world that is stylistically ever-changing, the fast fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to the mounting climate crisis. In this class, we will explore different methods for enhancing fabrics and garments using traditional and nontraditional printing techniques, to create something fresh and one-of-a-kind out of clothing we already have. We will print from linoleum relief blocks, plates, rollers, and textural surfaces. Come reinvigorate your wardrobe and household fabrics with everything from small repeat patterns to unrepeatable experiments!

GURTIE HANSELL, aka Kangmankey, is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and designer of genderqueer streetwear. Their signature style uses a range of self-taught and adapted techniques that anyone can learn and do from home. They subvert the expectation that so-called “gender neutral” clothing is all masculine in some way. Instead, they put all gender expressions front and center for everyone to explore. They received a BA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago.
