Introduction to Eco Printing Workshop

Eco Printed leaves on watercolor paper

Come join me for an exciting day of Eco Printing, a process in which the shapes, textures, and sometimes the colors of plants, leaves, and flowers are transferred to a substrate through the application of heat and pressure. In this class, you will have an opportunity to:

  • experiment with creating and cooking “plant sandwiches” using a wide variety of plant materials shared by class members on watercolor and drawing paper supplied by instructor. Results will be documented and shared within the group after cooking and
  • removing plant materials to reveal your beautiful prints. 
  • Paint, stamp, and stencil with plant-based inks made from beet, turmeric, mulberry, and more using paintbrushes AND natural mark-making tools including: hala seed pods, papaya stems, pine needle bundles, and more.
  • A Google Docs handout with instructions and tips will be shared with all registered participants so that you have the information you need to continue Eco Printing on your own.
