Year 10 Revision Modelling Colour and Decoration Modelling Modelling is an important part of the design development of your project because it allows you to test and evaluate your design ideas. Modelling can include; Making test pieces/fabric samples Scaled down versions of the end product Prototypes of actual product Small test pieces of fabric are best when you are experimenting and practising techniques. This can be done to help deciding colour combinations, surface decoration and manipulation of fabrics. Printing BLOCK PRINTING Use a wooden block with a design relief, which stands out off it. STENCILLING Card is used with a design cut out of it. Colour is applied with sponges or brushes. ENGRAVED ROLLER PRINTING Uses several metal rollers with a design engraved on them. The dye is pushed through a fine mesh on each roller. Uses a separate roller for each colour used. SCREEN PRINTING OR SILK-SCREEN PRINTING Uses a stencil under a nylon screen. Dye is pushed through using a squeegee. Use a different screen and stencil for each colour. Printing Printing is used to add colour and pattern to fabrics. COMPUTER TRANSFER PRINTING Uses an image created on a computer then printed onto transfer paper Transfers the design by applying heat from an iron to the back of the paper. HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING Uses a design printed onto sublimation paper. Transfers the design to fabric using heat. DIGITAL PRINTING The whole design and printing process is carried out by computer. Can create complex patterns quickly. Dyeing It is a common method of applying colour to fabrics. The resulting colours depend on: The type of fibre. The type of product being dyed. When the dye is applied. NATURAL / VEGETABLE DYEING Uses colourings extracted from natural products. Salt is used as a mordant (fixative). This is needed to ‘stick’ the dye to the fabric. PIGMENT DYEING Uses a binding agent and pigment that are mixed and applied to fabric. It is used in screen printing. These two techn
