Introduction to Eco Printing
Spend a wonderful day learning the basic technique of eco printing,
transferring colour and shape from leaves onto paper and fabric.
There are many different leaves that can create images and you will
learn about common accessible varieties and the colours they can
produce.
We will look at the different mordants used to treat your paper and
fabrics to make the patterns light and wash-fast.
These mordants can
also affect the colours attained and we shall explore that.
By investigation and experimentation, you will produce many samples on
both paper and fabric. After lunch you will combine your newly acquired
skills and eco print a narrow silk scarf.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who
want to improve their eco printing skills.
All materials, lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee,
however you are encouraged to bring along any foliage you would like to
try to take prints from.

Textures on the Seabed
Join us for a day of fun machine embroidery and textile technique and
experimentation as you create your own fabric art. This workshop is
inspired by the structure of corals, brain coral, leaf shape, branch
patterns... and a few more.
We will echo those textures using
'crashing,' a stitched steaming technique, making Neptune's necklace and
tendrils using soluble techniques, and hole making with scrim, hand and
machine embroidery methods to build a crunchy delicious surface to frame
up. Lots of ideas to play with.
For this workshop you will need to bring along your sewing machine and
be confident enough to use it, although the tutor will be on hand to
support you throughout.
Most materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.
