Textile Screen Printing: Design and Print Your Patterns was a very educational course where I learned many techniques in pattern making and silkscreen printing that I had always wondered about. The instructor explained everything clearly, and now I finally understand how these processes are done. I truly enjoyed the course and highly recommend it.
