Learn to create beautiful fabric with nature. Gather leaves and plants and learn how to imprint them directly onto silk and wool using a water bath process. Eco-printing (botanical printing) uses the tannins from the leaves to leave realistic images, faux textures and natural coloring on treated fabric.
