11/26/2016 - Eco Printing on Silk

If there is one class people are asking about, it is this! Eco dyeing or botanical printing involves the foraging and collecting of Nature's leaves, plants, fruit and flowers to begin a journey of preparation before emerging on the fiber in unique, all natural designs and colors drawn directly from the plant matter. Like the journey of a butterfly, each piece undergoes its own personal dye transformation before emerging 2-5 days later in the beautiful colors of its metamorphosis. Each textile tells its own story. That is what makes it such an exciting and unique art form. I have streamlined this into a 1 day process for the benefit of a workshop. You'll collect the plants you'll use from my mini-farm or that I have dried and stored, learn how to prepare the silk and leave at the end of the session with 2 beautifully unique scarves! Totally renewable, sustainable art. All sessions are $115.00 plus a $25.00 supply fee. Workshop limited to 6.
