Class Printing and Stamping

The Printing and Stamping Curricular Unit seeks to provide students with very diversified knowledge
about the different techniques of printing and stamping fabrics and garments already made.

manipulating them with color, mostly using natural dyes.
Practical experiences will be provided to the student so that he can try techniques used in an industrial
context such as sublimation, transfer and others that may have a manual approach, traditionally used in
atelier and that he can choose those that will best serve his creative process.
