WINTER 

ECO- PRINTING 

A really special workshop held in collaboration with Design Afrika, in their beautiful retail space in a Gorgeous old church hall, in Woodstock, Cape Town.

The workshop will be 3 hours long and cover the process of Eco-printing.

This will be an introduction to Eco-printing, covering all questions you might have, and includes a printed workbook to take home.

You will be printing a raw silk scarf.

Raw silk is a protein fibre and prints so wonderfully. 

Your ticket will include all materials, a light lunch, and beverages.

Using beautiful raw silk as our canvas, you can explore and choose from an array of plants to decorate your scarf with. 

Eco-printing is a contact print transferred onto a fiber, a natural chemical reaction that happens when a tannin-rich plant is steamed with the presence of a mordant.

This is a magical process to witness and doesn't require any artistic ability, just a curiosity for the magic of plant colour.

This event is family-friendly, and children 7 years or older are welcome to book a spot too.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. I look forward to welcoming you.

Alternatively, please contact me and I can send you a private invoice or answer any further questions you might have. 

Thank you
