In this class students will learn the basics of eco printing including the importance of proper preparation, types of processing techniques. Students will also experiment with mordants, tannins, dyes and a variety of vegetation that will ultimately lead to successful printing. We will have plenty of pre-foraged plant material. We will also experiment with flower dyes and prints.
