6 hours Class size 1 to 8     label £110

Explore the printing potential of summer leaves and flowers on paper, in a relaxing and inspiring workshop at my home in south Liverpool.

After a brief introduction to the principles and practice of botanical contact ['eco'] printing, you will explore the printing potential of different summer leaves and flowers on different types of paper, including ways to enhance their definition and colour.

Whilst having fun in a small group in a relaxed environment, you will learn about the differences between leaves and why they differ in their ability to make prints. You will learn how to print by submerging or steaming foliage with paper and take home a stack of botanical eco prints which you can use to make cards, bookmarks, books, or to mount/frame.

Participant numbers for this workshop are restricted to six. Given the small size of the group, there will be plenty of time for detailed tuition and discussion.

Hi there! I'm Maggie, a textile artist passionate about sustainability and textiles. I work only with organically and ethically produced natural fibres, plants and dyes and use pre-loved fabrics wherever possible.

I discovered the practice of botanical eco printing by accident four years ago when I picked too many elderberries to make jam with, and I've been captivated by it ever since!

There are many ways to create glorious, joyful prints with plants, flowers and foodstuff which we have close to hand. Now, there aren't enough hours in the day to pursue all the beautiful possibilities. I wish I'd discovered eco printing five years earlier, but I'm making the most of it now!

I love spreading joy and enabling others to discover this captivating practice in fun public classes and private workshops. So why not join me and have a blast with botanical eco printing now?
