Description
The creators of Hazel Eyes Textiles (Mary Burns, Nancy Burns, & Callie Bates) will teach eco-printing, also called botanical printing, on silk scarves. We will use the natural pigments in the leaves of local plants to dye and print our prepared silk scarves. This is a many-layered process and we will work step by step doing the setup, layout, and steaming of the scarves. We will also discuss materials, equipment, fabrics, plants and techniques. Each participant will create their own unique and beautiful scarf to take home. Let’s have some fun with plants! If there is time while the scarves are steaming, we may take a walk to identify and discuss leaf collecting for the eco-printing process. Please bring snacks, lunch and a beverage. Please dress for being outside and getting messy! Registration required by 8/13. $70 ($60 members)
