Green and Blue Eco Printing

16 June 2018 10:00 am - 17 June 2018 4:00 pm

Under the right conditions, the prolonged contact of a leaf onto cloth or paper can make a beautiful print. In this two-day course, you will learn the basics of eco and cyanotype printing. Using local botanical material and working with heat and light you will transfer the shapes or pigments of the leaves onto paper or fabric. Learning the secrets of mordants, tannin and iron bath, the resulting prints can be used to produce scarves/artwork or greeting cards.

This workshop is available to all 16+ and no previous experience is necessary. Please wear old clothes to avoid stains from the printing or the mineral used.
