The Department of Textile Design’s printing workshop allows an initial acquaintance and experience with traditional and contemporary work processes on textiles using flat printing screens. All work processes employed in the workshop are manual and provide an understanding of the complex world of textile printing - both from the artistic/design aspect of printing one-of-a-kind items, and from the mass-production aspect of running fabric printing.

Work in the workshop begins with the development of a design concept, followed by formation of an image or pattern and selection of the hues. The design is then prepared for single or cyclic printing, manual, digital or integrated color separation and mixing the colors. Once the fabric is selected, printing tests and work processes are executed to produce the finished product.

Studies in the workshop are part of the academic requirements for students in the Department of Textile Design. If necessary, students will receive support from the workshop for their final projects. In addition, the workshops offer students from other departments elective courses and assist students from the Master's Degree in Design program.

The workshop staff provide consultation to students from the Faculty of Design on textile printing, and guidance on digital printing solutions outside of the college, as well as the option of executing prints on fabric with the assistance of a textile design student who has completed the printing course.
