In this workshop you will use a range of readily available leaves and plants to create fabulous prints on fabrics. You will learn how to find the best plants for printing, explore different ways to create prints, sampling and experimenting on cotton fabric. Using your samples for ideas and inspiration you will apply your new-found knowledge to print a beautiful silk scarf to take home.
About botanical printing
Botanical printing (also referred to as eco-printing, bundling and contact printing) is a way to transfer the beautiful shapes, outlines, colours and textures of plants and leaves from the leaf direct to fabric or paper. Different results may be obtained by using naturally-occurring tannins, mordants and modifiers as well as combining with other natural dyes and dyestuffs. Fun, inexpensive and easy to do at home, it is as exciting as it is unpredictable!
Artist bio
Debbie has been a textile artist and dyer for over 25 years and has been teaching for over 12 years. She considers herself to be a restless experimenter – learning the rules then taking them and pushing them to the limit, always testing the boundaries of what is possible. Debbie sold her first designs at age 14 and has been designing ever since – whether for herself, for publication or for design companies. A firm believer in the therapeutic benefits of creativity, she studied textiles (after her first degree in Classics!) and is a qualified arts for health and wellbeing practitioner.
When attending a workshop you can receive 10% off within the Gallery Shop on the day of your session.
