Workshop Description:
Directly printing forms found in the natural world has been used for centuries by scientists, naturalists and artists to preserve the ephemeral beauty of nature. This 2-day workshop explores the botanical contact printing process (eco-printing) to create images on paper with fresh and pressed plant materials provided by the instructor and collected by students. The first day students will learn botanical contact printing immersion techniques using dye baths on assorted paper. On the second day, the results will be used to create four non-adhesive books – a simple Jacob’s Ladder, two hybrid structures based on the accordion and a multiple section pamphlet with a thread and button closure – all filled with rich visual content.
Materials fee payable: $30.00 per student: includes paper, tubes for bundling, dye and mordants, thread, buttons, comprehensive handouts, use of shared tools and equipment plus shipping.
