Eco Printing with leaves and berries workshop

What is Eco Printing?

It's an environmentally friendly vibrant form of printing that uses natural organic materials bundled up in cloth. The 'bundle' is then steamed, capturing the beautiful colourful essences, giving a unique Eco print. It's low impact and zero waste. We will be using foraged leaves, berries and kitchen spices.

Why take this class?

It's really fun and a great starting point to learn botanical printing basics. You'll learn a sustainable crafting skill that can be used to prolong the life of clothing, make stunning eco gifts or create wall art, all reducing your environmental impact. You will leave with a sense of achievement, wonderful fabric samples and great joy.
