Tataki Zome: Nature’s Hammered Prints
Discover the ancient Japanese art of “hammer dyeing” 🔨🔨🔨
Tataki zome (叩き染め) is a botanical printing technique where fresh leaves, flowers, and plants are physically pounded onto fabric, releasing their natural pigments to create one-of-a-kind imprints. Unlike traditional dyeing methods that require boiling or soaking, this technique captures the delicate details of plant structures — veins, petals, and stems — directly onto cloth using nothing more than a hammer and a bit of patience.
What you’ll learn:
• How to select the best leaves and flowers for vibrant, lasting prints (some plants work beautifully, others barely show up!)
• Proper fabric preparation and mordanting basics for color longevity
• Hammering technique for clean, detailed transfers without smudging
• Layout and composition for balanced, artful designs
• Setting and preserving your finished piece
Perfect for: Beginners with no dyeing experience, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a meditative, low-mess creative practice.
Materials provided:
white cotton scarves measures about
79 x 27 inches
Class is limited to 12 attendees. Everyone MUST preregister and Pay to attend. All Sales Final - No Refunds!!
Cost: $48
I accept: Venmo, Zelle, Applepay and Cash. Credit cards accepted plus a 3.5% fee.
