Fabric Printing & Pattern Building - From Sketch to Print

Fabric Printing & Pattern Building workshop: 14 November – 15 November 2026, BIBLIOTEKET Rentemestervej, Copenhagen. Tickets cost 1 kr.

A weekend workshop for those who want to work experimentally and intuitively with fabric printing, pattern building, and visual composition on textiles. It welcomes both beginners and experienced participants who wish to deepen their understanding of the process.

The course begins with sketching - bring your own previous sketches or draw new ones with ink and pen during the workshop. Sketches are developed into print-ready motifs, which are then used in screen printing and more playful pattern-composition methods. Along the way, you'll learn techniques such as overprinting, monoprint, and various binders, and gain insight into how motifs are transferred to screens, including a demonstration of screen exposure. The pace is open and experimental, with room for both technical exercises and personal expression, so you can take the methods home to your own practice.

You'll learn to develop motifs and patterns from sketch to print, work with screen printing and experimental printing methods, build compositions with a focus on repetition, rhythm, and scale, and work with monoprint, overprinting, and the fundamental processes of screens and exposure - with the aim of creating your own textiles in your own visual language.

Bring your own textiles, such as fabric scraps, used cloths, or clothing you'd like to give new life to. Questions can be directed to Lisa at mail@lisarogersdotter.com.

The instructor is Lisa Adele Rogersdotter, a textile designer trained at the Royal Danish Academy and Kolding School of Design. She works with patterns for textiles and wallpaper; see more at www.lisarogersdotter.com.
