Eco Print onto Fabric with Flowers, Leaves and Berries

What is Eco Printing?

It's an environmentally friendly vibrant form of printing that uses natural organic materials bundled up in cloth. The 'bundle' is then steamed, capturing the beautiful colourful essences, giving a unique Eco print. It's low impact and zero waste. We will be using foraged leaves, berries and kitchen spices, all which can be composted.

Why take this class?

It's really fun and a great starting point to learn botanical printing basics. You'll learn a sustainable crafting skill that can be used to prolong the life of clothing, make stunning eco gifts or create wall art, all reducing your environmental impact. You will leave with a sense of achievement, wonderful fabric samples and great joy.

What will we do?

Rose Petal, your tutour, will guide you step by step through the whole process from preparing your fabric, sharing which botanicals deliver great colour, how to tie up and steam your bundles to fixing your colour. After steaming we will unwind the bundles and have the grand WOW reveal. Be warned, it's addictive!
