Immerse yourself in the magical world of eucalyptus leaf eco-prints on wool, with their bright oranges and earthy tones. We’ll begin by making some samples of folded and rolled bundles, cooked in plain water and in dye. As we work, we’ll discuss all aspects of eco-printing on wool, from choosing suitable leaves to wrapping and cooking techniques. While our samples are cooking away, we’ll be able to use our new skills to eco-print onto a beautifully light and soft wool scarf. All of the materials will be provided, but there is an option to also bring along 1 item of wool clothing or fabric that you want to eco-print on. For best results choose something that is 100% wool, or at least mostly wool.
This will be an intimate gathering of up to 4 people. We’ll work from my (covered) front verandah. The workshop will go ahead in any weather, but in the case of a heatwave or torrential rain you will have the option to rebook for a later date.
