Learn how to create beautiful plant designs on silk. Eco printing is imprinting images of leaves, plants, and flowers directly on protein fibers using a water bath process. In this workshop, you will create your own unique, beautiful, and colorful designs on a silk scarf with plants you bring from home. All skill levels welcome!
Recommended plants to bring include leaves from your surroundings with an emphasis on high tannin leaves such as oak, maples, rose, hickory, sumac, blackberry. Fun additional plants (usually store bought) are eucalyptus and colorful flowers such as carnations and Gerber daisies. Thick, woody plants or plants with waxy leaves such as camellia and magnolia are not recommended. In addition to the plants you’ll use for eco printing, please also bring your own apron or smock. Gloves will be provided.
