Abstract
The paper discusses the concept of entrepreneurship
with the focus on textile design, which looks at fabric
printing as a veritable engagement for self-reliance and
economic development. It also describes the benefits
derivable from the learning and practising of a vocation
in textile design and screen printing, particularly on the
individual who engages in the practice to tackle
unemployment. The methods and practical procedures
for obtaining quality-printed and consistent fabric are
done and discussed lucidly with the intended
beneficiaries who are students and studio practitioners.
The paper concludes that consistency in printing,
especially silk screen printing during reproduction,
depends largely on the methods that are employed. The
recommendations are that there is need for adequate
funding and resuscitating of the comatose textile
industry in Nigeria. The curriculum development in our
tertiary institutions is to include functional educational
courses such as textile design and technology, among
others. Finally, the establishment of public and private
entrepreneurship skills-acquisition centres, mounting of
vigorous workshops and seminars in the vocational
disciplines are hereby advocated.
