Eco-Printing, Beyond the Basics

Explore the possibilities of using natural dyes to add color and depth to your eco-prints!

In this class, students will learn the basics of making natural dyes and how to utilize them in the eco-printing process. Students will explore adding color to the background of their prints and creating silhouettes from leaves that don't normally print well. Experimentation and play will be encouraged!

Participants must have taken Eco-Printing before or be familiar with the process. This class will not cover mordanting or basic eco-printing techniques.

$35 materials fee due to the instructor the day of class. Materials fee includes natural dyes, "blankets", 1 yard raw silk and 1 crepe de chine scarf, dowels, string, leaves, and mordants. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own materials to print; all materials brought from home must be mordanted BEFORE class.
