WHAT

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the season with our "Autumnal Botanical Printing" workshop! In this hands-on session, you'll learn the art of eco-printing by using vibrant autumn leaves to create stunning, one-of-a-kind prints on fabric. By wetting and wrapping the leaves in textiles, then applying heat, we'll reveal the intricate patterns and colours that nature provides. Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop is a wonderful way to embrace the natural world while crafting something truly unique. Join us and transform the colours of fall into lasting art!

We will be making tea towels in the workshop, but you are very welcome to bring your own shirt, pillow case, bag, scarf or other natural fibre textile that you might way to transform.  Any personal items should be a light colour with minimal or no pattern and freshly washed and most importantly, 100% natural fibres such as cotton or linen for the best results.  If your textile is only partially natural fibres, you are welcome to experiment.  This is a great way to transform something that has a stain to give your items a more sustainable and longer life.
