The technique of hand screen printing can play an important role in the future of sustainable textile production. Instead of buying more and more new textiles, used textiles can be redesigned and reused according to personal taste. This is also possible with fabrics, paper, for example as wallpaper, posters, and even on wood.

Small manufactures are already doing this today and, of course, in the DIY movement. Do it yourself - make it yourself. In addition to recycling, solvent-free paints can be used or even natural dyes from plants, although there are still some limitations and hardly any offerings. The market power of large labels is countered by one's own creativity. It's also much cheaper. The principle of screen printing is already used with large machines in textile printing, but as a sustainable alternative, hand screen printing is also possible at home or in small workshops. "Retro Design for the Future." The artist and screen printer Kerstin Lichtblau shows you technical and design possibilities.

No admission fee or other charges. Please bring T-shirts or other items of clothing to be printed on.
