Botanical printing is a method of transferring the pigments of leaves and flowers directly onto fabric, producing beautiful images that can capture both color and detail. While there are endless variables to explore in this process, anyone can produce a beautiful piece on their first try. We’ll begin by learning the essential steps to create any print, then identify the possibilities that can expand your printing experience.

This workshop will include instruction for how to

• Choose and prepare your fiber for printing

• Understand how different botanicals interact with the fiber

• Use a natural dye blanket to create background color

• Process your print

• Handle your finished prints

• Store up botanicals for winter printing
  
  Open to ages 18+.

Registration deadline: Aug. 29
