About this Event
Eco Printing is the art of printing material, often botanical, using natural ingredients.
Typically we use cotton, linen, silk or wool, and in this workshop you’ll be using leaves to print from in a dye pot.
We use soy milk, rust water, onion skins and vinegar and that’s it. No nasty chemicals.
There will also be a chance to print on paper.
By the end of the workshop you will have had practise in using a dye pot and understand how to set up one of your own at home.
You will also have some samples to take away along with a handout with all the information you need.
Please bring your own apron and wear old clothes.
Bring your own lunch for the break - tea and coffee provided.
This workshop runs all day with a break for lunch. Morning session 10-12.30 , afternoon session 2.30-5pm.
You must be over 18 to attend this workshop.
