Broughton Road Community Centre, 16th of August 6 till 10pm
Our eco printing workshop is a hands-on class where participants learn how to create prints on a silk fabric scarf using natural materials like leaves, flowers, and plant matter. The process uses heat and moisture to transfer pigments from the plant material onto the surface, creating beautiful, organic patterns.
Introduction to Eco Printing: History, principles, and sustainability aspects.
Materials & Tools:
Natural fabrics (cotton, silk, wool) or paper
Leaves, flowers, bark, and other plant matter
Mordants (like alum or iron) to help fix colors
Preparation Techniques:
Scouring and mordanting fabrics
Selecting and preparing plant materials
Printing Process:
Arranging materials
Bundling and steaming/boiling
Unwrapping and drying techniques
Tips on Color and Design: How different plants and mordants affect outcomes.
