Record your visit to the Garden at Elm Bank by printing our plants on fabric! Maine fiber artist Mary DeLano will teach you the art and craft of Eco-printing; 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 gathered from the garden. Students will take home eight printed pieces of fabric. This class is suitable for beginners and experienced eco printers.
Mary will have an advanced project involving iron and different types of tannin for students who have taken this class in the past. Please email Mary if you are interested: [email protected]
