– Art sticks and markers made for fabric are great fun, and much less messy to deal with - though not likely for the printing process you have mentioned. – fabric content is key, as what you can do with silk or cotton you may not be able to do with wool or synthetic blends.
Again, Jaquard or various brands of procion dyes. – for retention of the true softness or texture of the fabric, dye is the way to go. Jaquard, Blick brand, Speedball, are reliable if you want something relatively soft and washable (with heat setting) More water, more potential bleeding (from the line or image you initially put down) BUT the softer the result. – Give attention to the water/thickness ratio. – If stiffness doesn’t matter, any acrylic you would paint with, works.
Truth is there are a range of tried and true products - why create your own?įrom years of screen printing and painting t-shirts - and now woven fabric for more fine art uses - I can offer: Having just looked, there is good info there, but I cannot find what it is that is added to acrylics. There is indeed a medium which can be added but I have never used it - try checking the Dharma Trading website for information. The textile / silk screen paints and inks are formulated to do this, at least depending on thickness of application. By this I mean, in wearable art, many want the fabric to be soft and supple (referred to as “hand”) as well as washable. What you print with depends in part on what you want the finished piece to function as. Tell us more about what the goal and intent is! I was wondering about Golden acrylics–I believe they have some products specifically for fabrics. (I use oil-based etching inks for my printing.)ĭoes anyone have experience with monotype printing onto fabric and can suggest what types of ink/paint/media she should try. I’m not sure, however, what paints or inks work best to print onto fabric. I suggested that she try monotype printing onto fabric, using a rolling pin or baren instead of a press to transfer the image to the fabric. She won’t be using a press or silkscreening, but working “by hand.” And she’ll need to keep it simple, including clean-up (she’s planning to do this while living on their boat). My friend now wants to explore printing on fabric, and asked me to give her some advice on getting started. The person we saw doing the demo was using water-washable oil paints as her ‘inks’, applying them first to a plastic sheet, then running this through an etching press to print onto a sheet of paper. Habotai Silk Fabric is a luxurious lightweight fabric Suitable for Nuno Felting 5.3 momme Sold in the following. I’m a printmaker, unfamilar with fiber arts (unless you count cotton rag paper as a fabric!).Ī fiber artist friend and I attended a monotype printing demo recently.
