Potato Print Experiment


The though of potato print might sound weird but it is a useful technique which I've learnt in class and decided to add into my garment. To make Potato print Firstly, I had to draw the shape that I wanted my print to print on a piece of  paper ,then copy it out on Styrofoam and cut it out. I then  had to add paint onto the Styrofoam and use the Styrofoam to print on top of the material chose. I chose black fabric as my new garment is black, so I  had to make sure I experimented on a  black fabric  to see if it would have worked or not. I  realise I have to add white paint on my garment before the paint on top of the Styrofoam as the black fabric took away the colours vivid preventing it to be seen properly.

Outcome 

As you can see the left side is much darker than the right side due 
to the fact I  added white before the purple paint on the right side.
