There is no time of year more beautiful than the peak of the season to capture the magic of nature and turn it into wearable works of art.

Eco-Printing is the process of embedding botanical “stamps” directly from plant material.

Working with natural elements such as leaves, blossoms, berries, eucalyptus, flower petals, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and bark, collected from your own garden and all around you, each artist will create a naturally made silk scarf.  The “images” and color that will be embodied within the fabric will reflect the actual color that the plant material transfers. 

The unique and sought-after class will begin with an introduction to the process given by local artist Kathleen Lang. This will be followed by a nature walk (weather permitting) along the river to collect botanical items for use in the printing/dying process. Using no chemicals or additives, each artist will then learn how to use the plant material to decorate their own blank scarf, provided to them. After completing the design, each artist will bind their work with materials provided and prepare for the cooking and curing process. Artists’ completed scarves will be shipped approximately one week after the class.

No experience is necessary, but imagination is preferred. There is no charge for this event, however it is by invitation only .
