printing on fabrics

Learn how sheer fabrics digitally printed with your images and/or words can create surprisingly interesting and unique dimensional surfaces in your artwork!

Learn how to:

• Print images on organza fabric with an inkjet printer. 
• Look at various artists that are using printed sheer fabrics as their art form alone, or incorporating them into their artwork using a variety of techniques.
• Various ways to use your printed sheer fabric in your mixed media artworks.
