Course Synopsis

• The introduction to textile Apparel, Home textile and furnishing allows students to develop their personal performance for their specializing area within the field of textile design. • Dye stuffs: sources and types: Natural dye stuff and synthetic dye stuff • Students are engaged with complete course of printing. It includes learning of dyeing (home dyeing, factory dyeing), involvement of machines, various dye stuff, for different materials and various methods of home dyeing includes: Resist dyeing (various methods); Chunri; Lahrria; Folding method; Stitch resist; Batik and Tue and Dye. • Natural and synthetic dyes and mordents (Mordants (such as alum, iron, copper and tin) are minerals which can be used to fix the dye and alter the final shade of colour) • Plain dyeing of yarn and fabric with natural dyes • Tie and Dye techniques with synthetic dyes: bandhani, ‘lehariya, Kasuri or ikat, • Resist dyeing: Batik • The application of image, pattern, and surface manipulation to cloth using contemporary and traditional resist methods is explored. Processes from Japan, Central America, West Africa, and Europe are shibori (knotted resist), arashi (wrapped resist), and starch and paste resists. New directions in altering surface color, structure, and texture are cloque (shrinking), devore (eroding), chemical resists, and discharge printing and painting (removing color from cloth). • Collage, piecing, and 2D and 3D ideas are encouraged. • Bleaching • Introduction to Manual and Industrial Textile Printing Techniques. 1- Fabric paint 2- Block printing 3- Stenciling and stamping 4- Silk paint 5- Hand screen printing 6- Digital Printing • The objective of the course is to understand printing technology, apply the technique and dye type according to the fiber type and quality of fabric. • Students can differentiate between the printing and dye types. • Understand of repeat systems and sizes according to machine type

Course Learning Outcomes

Students will learn about: • Color separation; Preparation of fabric; Mixing colours • Control over manual handling of brush, squeegee or roller. • Understanding of different printing processes • Experimentation and fusion of print media. • Skills and confidence in the process of natural dyeing and natural textile printing methods which can be developed at home. • Preparation of cloth and pigment for printing • To learn how to use the dies & chemicals • Control of time & temperature • To learn how to fold the material for resist dyeing • To learn how to display the assignments • Explore trickier fabric manipulations or resist techniques, including wood shapes, plexiglass pipe and bubble wrap. • Make the most out of your fabrics by learning how different natural fibers react to dyes and absorb color. • Learn the correct proportions of dye, water, soda ash and salt.
