Here at Front Row headquarters, we’re the first to agree that digital printing is pretty darn cool – after all, how else would we be able to make all those stunning designs you guys keep sending in?! But we do get a little nostalgic every now and then for simpler times, when prints were made the old fashioned way: manually, through weaving or hand-dying.
Now we’re not going completely mad – we can’t print FRS scarves by hand! That’s why we’re asking you to dive into traditional methods like stamping, stitching, or our current passion, shibori: a Japanese dying method stemming all the way back from the seventh century. From the beautiful indigos and reds found in natural dyes, to the wonderful assortment that arise from these apparently unelaborate printing methods, we want to celebrate every aspect of these homespun crafts.
As always, don't forget that your print might need to be adjusted to fit the appropriate template. All templates are marked with design specifications to help you get your design just right. Please note that all FRS templates may differ slightly from final manufacturing specifications, so make sure your print is versatile and flexible enough for production.
