Last Saturday, 26 October, creativity filled the spaces at MolinoLab with our textile printing workshop, facilitated by the artist Elisa Olivares Órdenes @sueno_mor. It was an incredible day in which the participants not only learnt new techniques, but also gave a second life to their favourite garments.
The printing techniques we explored
During the workshop we immersed ourselves in the fascinating world of hand printing, experimenting with a range of tools and methods to achieve varied designs:
Printing with linoleum stamps: we experimented with stamps carved by hand with gouges and knives.
Wooden stamps: we used complex designs created with laser cutting on timber, combining craft and technological precision for highly complex designs.
3D-printed plastic: we used stamps designed and 3D-printed as durable matrices, resistant to prolonged use.
Stencil technique: we explored the versatility of stencils to achieve sharp shapes and plays of colour.
Sustainable fashion and personal creativity
The main aim was to encourage reuse and personalisation. It was exciting to see how T-shirts, bags and other garments that people already had at home were transformed into pieces with their own style and a hand-made quality. Each participant also took home a gift stamp to go on experimenting!
