An introduction to Eco-printing on paper and fabric with Jane Hunter. Saturday 22nd April. 2023. 10am to 4pm
Eco-printing is an exciting technique of printing paper and fabric drawing out the natural dyes from leaves.
This workshop is ideal for beginners or as a refresher.
The process releases the dye from the vegetation and fixes it on to the substrate with the use of traditional mordants and steam processing. I will teach you the basic technique on paper and silk.
In the morning you will learn about the different leaves that give good prints and the different mordants used to create different colours and will print on paper.
In the afternoon you will eco-print some silk fabric and make a small silk scarf to take home.
It is thrilling and accessible and this is the perfect time of year to learn this technique with the whole summer season to experiment in.
Cost £75.00 (including materials)
