An introduction to the fascinating world of Flower Pounding or Hapazome in Japanese, a natural dyeing process that uses leaves, flowers, and other organic materials to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs on fabric. Participants will learn about the principles of eco-printing, including the types of plants best suited for dyeing, and a discussion of mordants and how they affect the colors and permanence of the prints.The class will provide hands-on experience as students choose plant materials provided by Flower Valley Orchard flower farm, arrange them on prepared fabric (we will provide natural fabrics such as silk or cotton) and use a hammer to pound the flowers into the material to transfer the pattern. By the end of the class attendees will leave with their own beautifully printed fabrics and a better understanding of natural dyeing.
