Eco-Print on Silk and Wool

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. Leave with 2 beautiful scarves, 1 silk and 1 wool and the knowledge to continue creating at home! An all natural, sustainable, and earth friendly process.
