Eco Printing Workshop
- Date: August 20, 2022
- Location: Tear Cap Workshops, Hiram
Learn how to print plants on fabric! Eco printing is a process where plant materials are placed on specially treated fabric and then steamed to release the pigments in the plants, leaving realistic prints of the plants on the fabric. Participants will learn about which plants print reliably and will have a chance to experiment with other plants. Each student will take home eight printed quarter yard pieces of fabric, in a variety of fibers including silk and linen. No previous experience is necessary, but students are asked to bring their own scissors or shears for cutting plants and a large bucket of plant material (leaves and flowers) for printing.
