Botanical Printing Class with Becky Ruley on July 18th at 9 AM
We will unleash the surprises nature has to offer by harnessing the natural pigments found in plants, leaves, flowers, and other natural materials to transfer designs permanently to fabric. Applying heat and moisture will extract the natural intricate details, colors, and shapes of the leaves, and other botanical elements used.
This class will focus on basic techniques of botanical printing including preparing fabric and plant materials, arranging on fabric, as well as the process to set colors and image. Participants will walk away with an 8″ x 54″ silk wool blend scarf and the knowledge to experiment on their own.
Students will also walk away with printed information regarding how to recognize suitable plants for printing, understanding the role of mordants and modifiers, how to steam bundles to set prints, and how to wash and handle printed fabric to preserve the design. *No prior experience necessary and all supplies are included.
