In this 2-hour eco-printing workshop, participants will begin with a brief introduction to the process of eco-printing, learning about the materials, tools, and techniques used. The first 20 minutes will cover an overview of flowers, fabric and how different flower species, mordants, leaves and design layouts create unique prints. Participants will then spend about 30-45 minutes selecting fresh flowers and preparing their silk fabric by arranging the botanicals onto the material, then wrapping and binding with string. We will then be steaming the fabric for 20 minutes. Participants will unwrap their creations, share their results, and discuss ways to incorporate their eco-printed fabric into future projects and uses! All materials provided. (Each student gets an 8”x54” Charmeuse Silk Scarf!)
