Stencil and Stamp Printing

Fabric paint stencilled and stamped onto calico carry bags. The years 2 to 6 used colored pencils and paper to work out a design to be printed onto a calico bag, using limited colours. Students had to think about which of the six colours would look best together, and where to place stencils and stamps. Once they had worked out their designs, they printed the bags with fabric paint.

The F/1 students used the same six colours but only printed with stamps, creating their design during the printing process.

Here are some examples of the printed bags.
