Many of Leah’s abstract quilts are inspired by the urban and industrial heritage of the city she lives in Manchester, UK.  

​Leah uses breakdown (deconstructed) printing and other screen-printing techniques to create cohesive collections of fabrics characterised by dense mark and complex, often neutral colours as the basis for her art.

Colour Play: Low-Tech Screen Printing with Temporary Resists

In this workshop you will learn how to predict and control colour when using Procion reactive dyes before experimenting with a range of simple screen-printing techniques to create your own palette of fabric from your own source of inspiration.

The techniques covered will include open screening for both clean and streaky colour, working with paper and string resists, working with masking tape resists and breakdown printing where thickened dyes are used as a temporary resist.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and for those who want better control of their screen-printing outcomes.
