Printing with Plants with Erin MacKeen
Saturday June 14, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Plants are an abundant source of inspiration for art-making and in this workshop you’ll learn techniques for using plant materials to create and print images. A selection of small frameless screens and gel plates will be provided to experiment with screen and mono printing on paper and fabric using foraged and pressed botanical specimens.

You’ll also learn some simple ways to make your own colour using accessible plants and get a chance to try plant-based inks for printing. Finally, you’ll get to make your own organic cotton bandana to wear this Summer and show off your new skills!

Participants are encouraged to bring their own botanicals to use in this workshop and can also bring additional material or pre-made garments to print on.
