Welcome to the Eco-printing day workshop!
Eco printing is the magical process of transferring the colours and shapes that naturally occur in fresh plants, leaves and flowers, directly onto fabric or paper to create truly spectacular marks and prints.
This workshop is designed to develop all the skills and techniques that you need to produce beautiful unique eco prints. It is suitable for beginners and those seeking developmental support, who are keen to achieve clear defined prints that could be used in many varied textile projects.
We will create a collection of fabric and paper prints, using a variety of different plants and techniques. Kay will also give you a wealth of ideas on how to use your beautiful unique prints.
