Short Course

Overview

Discover the art of fabric decoration and learn how to transform ordinary items—such as clothing, fabric bags, or table linens—into unique, personalized creations.

Students explore the materials and tools essential for textile decoration, from specialized paints to handmade instruments designed to achieve distinctive textures and effects.

Through hands-on lessons, participants learn various decorating techniques that spark creativity and personal expression. The course includes preparatory sketching and project planning, followed by transferring the design onto fabric using paints specifically made for textiles.

By the end of the course, each student will have produced a customized piece that reflects their individual artistic style.
