WORKSHOP: Botanical Eco Printing on Paper and Cloth

Explore the printing potential of summer leaves and flowers on paper, in a relaxing and inspiring workshop at my home in south Liverpool.

After a brief introduction to the principles and practice of botanical contact ['eco'] printing, you will explore the printing potential of different summer leaves and flowers on different types of paper, including ways to enhance their definition and colour.

Whilst having fun in a small group in a relaxed environment, you will learn about differences between leaves and why they differ in their ability to make prints. You will learn how to print by submerging or steaming foliage with paper, and take home a stack of botanical eco prints which you can use to make cards, bookmarks, books, or to mount/frame.

Participant numbers for this workshop are restricted to six. A minimum of three students  is normally required for a workshop to run. Given the small size of the group, there will be plenty of time for detailed tuition and discussion. 

All materials [worth £20], tea and coffee all day and a light vegetarian lunch are included in the workshop fee. If you prefer, you may bring your own lunch.
