Join me for an immersive Botanical Printmaking workshop and discover how to transfer the natural beauty of flowers and leaves onto fabric and paper. Find out which plants create the best imprints and the alchemy behind achieving vibrant, lasting results.

You might be surprised at how common garden weeds can produce incredible prints!

This workshop is perfect for both beginners and those looking to advance their printmaking techniques.

You’ll learn about plant selection, fabric preparation, and the steaming and cooking processes that bring out the best prints.

To make the most of our creative time in the studio the preparation of the fabric and paper will be done in advance but notes will be available on scouring and several methods of mordanting so that you will be able to carry out these steps at home.

We will use steam and dye methods to cook the fabrics, extracting and sealing the plant materials.

As we go we’ll work to identify ‘perfect printers ‘ and discuss how you might choose to record your experiments so that you can achieve stunning results at home too.

By the end of the session, you’ll take home a unique collection of botanical-printed papers and fabrics, along with the knowledge to continue experimenting on your own.

Plus, you’ll gain fresh inspiration for transforming old, stained fabrics into stunning artworks or useful materials for future crafting projects. Join us for a creative, hands-on day and see everyday plants in a whole new light!

I suggest you bring an apron.

All other materials will be supplied.

 Bring a packed lunch, refreshments available throughout the day.
