    • COURSE PRACTICALITIES


      ORGANIZERS

      Organizers help with practical issues in printing workshop. They empty drying racks in the beginning of class and do laundry when needed. In the end of the common workshop days, they mark down in the folder all the chemicals, dyes and fabrics used in the class.

      BUDGET

      During the common workshop days students are given the materials = dyes, other chemicals and base fabrics. You may bring your own base fabrics, if you like. Organizers of each day write down the used materials in the folder in textile printing workshop. After common workshop days each student can use base fabrics with the budget or 7 euros, and the dyes and other chemicals they need. After common workshop days, each students marks in the folder both base fabrics and the dyes and other chemicals they used.
