Kick off EVFAC’s Dye Week this June: Learn Eco Printing!
Join Conor at EVFAC this June and learn to eco print! This workshop will cover the basic processes of printing on fabric with local leaves and flowers.
Using basic natural dye techniques, participants will use a mix of mineral mordants, plant tannins, and natural dyes. You will be utilizing heat and pressure to impart lasting prints on natural fibers. Conor will concentrate on the use of local foliage and pigment rich flowers to create amazing, lasting eco prints with his students.
Students in this workshop will be mordanting and printing on two items of different fiber types, a silk scarf and a cotton tea towel. This class will cover using carrier blankets as a delivery for minerals or tannins, as well as basic bundle dye techniques.
