Ecoprinting with Julie Milton

Discover the magic of eco printing—a sustainable dyeing technique that harnesses the natural pigments in leaves and flowers to create breathtaking, one-of-a-kind prints on paper. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the beauty of nature as you thoughtfully arrange plant materials on rag paper, bundle them, and gently boil them, unveiling organic patterns and exquisite hues—each piece a true original. Embrace an environmentally friendly process that celebrates nature’s beauty while minimising chemical waste. Ideal for artists, crafters, and nature lovers eager to explore creativity through a green lens. 

Participants will need to bring an apron and rubber gloves (if allergic to latex).
