Fabric Has Memory: Botanical Printing Workshop at Auckland Botanic Gardens
About this Event
Botanical Printing (Eco-printing) is a natural textile printing technique that uses heat and natural plant pigments to transfer the colours and textures of leaves and flowers onto fabric.
In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of botanical printing, including plant selection, fabric preparation, composition and steaming techniques. Using carefully selected and locally foraged botanical materials, you’ll transform vintage Japanese silk into a uniquely printed scarf of your very own!
Suitable for beginners, and anyone with an interest in sustainable fashion, natural dyeing and creative reuse.
All materials, tools & equipment are provided — just bring yourself!
Workshop in English, with 中文 support available.
