Upcoming Workshops
Eco printing is a sustainable, natural dyeing technique of capturing botanical prints directly from live and dried plants.
In our Eco Printing workshops, students will create a sustainably hand-dyed silk scarf, work into paper, or their own project. Eco-printing employs the use of botanical material as the design elements. Participants will learn how to coax the color and shape of their live plant material design into the fabric. Each student will take home their very own one-of-a-kind eco printed silk scarf.
Beginner to experienced levels are welcomed!

Eco Printing with Sue's Art Class, Rittenhouse, Philadelphia
Instructor Kathleen Lang will guide students through the very unique and magical process of eco printing on silk scarves 14” x 72”. Students will be provided with a list of plant items that can be brought to use in designing. The workshop will begin with a discussion about the colors the collected plants will produce on silk or paper. Students will learn how to arrange their “live plant design” on a silk scarf. The textiles will be processed using a bundling and cooking technique. This will cause the plants to decompose discharging color dye prints into the fabric.
Students with previous experience in eco printing are invited to learn next steps infusing background color in the September 11 masterclass.
