Eco Printing Workshop information session Monday, August 11th at 7:00pm
Aug 1, 2025
Join us for an information session about Eco Printing on Monday, August 11th at 7:00pm in UNBC Room 5-154.
Learn about the magic of eco printing - a sustainable, botanical dyeing technique that transfers the natural colours and shapes of real flowers and leaves onto cotton fabric.
Each eco printed piece of fabric is a unique creation. Using only plant materials, heat, and time, the prints capture the delicate beauty of nature - no synthetic dyes, no harsh chemicals, just the vibrant pigments of petals and foliage.
Inspired yet? Register online for the workshop in the DDBGS compound to eco print your own organic cotton Mull shawl and a silk or wool sampler supplied by Cat Sivertsen.
Workshop will be held from 10:00am to 3:00pm on Tuesday, September 9th, other dates may be available depending on interest. Maximum 8 attendees. Cost - $150, fabric etc. supplied.
Bring lunch for a potluck, and your own plants to use for dyeing - fireweed, yarrow, goldenrod, rose flowers and leaves, coreopsis, marigold, maple leaves, alder, dried or fresh hibiscus flowers, eucalyptus leaves, rhododendron leaves.
