Botanical Echoes (Dewald Compion)

Details

Capture the splendour of nature on cotton.

Botanical printing is the process of transferring the natural dye colours of plants to fabric. This fun hands-on class will teach you the basics of botanical printing on cotton, including choosing and preparing your fabric for eco printing, different mordants, which plants (leaves and flowers) to use and the process of botanical printing. You will print your pieces of cotton (included in the kit), which you can use in your next stitching project. The excitement with the reveal of the detail of each leaf preserved in fabric is something you need to experience yourself.

The compulsory kit contains:

 - 2 pieces of pre-treated cotton fabric

 - dowels

 - rope

 - samples of mordant and modifiers (to use at home)

  - detailed guide.
