Botanical Printing on Textiles Workshop

Botanical Printing Workshop

Using creativity and a little alchemy, learn how to transfer plants and colour from leaves and flowers to cloth. Using patterning from plants and leaves, we will create a lovely Silk Habotai kerchief.

While waiting for our kerchief to steam, we will create more leaf and flower impressions on paper, ready to process.

You will have a lovely, botanically printed scarf and several images on paper for cards or framed art prints to take home.

All materials will be provided. Wear old clothing or an apron.
