In Saturday, October 19th, 10 wonderful women gathered together to learn how to use local (and not so local!) foliage, kitchen waste (onion skins, red cabbage, etc.) to create dynamic prints on silk and wool.
A group shot of all the workshop participants with their favorite textile
We learned about choosing the best fabrics for printing, how to prep our fabrics by scouring and mordanting, how to roll bundles and the importance of contact to execute successful printing.
Here are some of the results of our fabric bundles with loads more images to come…and this was just Day One. We still have printing on paper and making natural inks to explore!
