CUMBERLAND FOLK SCHOOL EVENT

Did you know that many plants will share their colors and shapes and create beautiful prints on fabric or paper? In this class, you’ll learn the techniques for making botanical prints on fabric. We will talk about influences and resources and basic methods. You will learn how to ethically forage and choose good printers and about how the practice is seasonal. Good preparation makes all the difference, so we will talk about how to prepare fabrics (and paper). In class you will place plants for a design on your pre-mordanted fabric and then roll, dye and steam fabric in a layered technique for beautiful prints with a colorful natural background. Your class materials fee includes three pre-mordanted silk and silk/wool scarves, gloves, dowels for rolling, sampling fabric and paper and some stalwart leaves we can’t forage on the farm. I also provide dyes and use of all necessary equipment. Wear old clothes!
