Eco printed lampshades with Fiona Balding at Cambridge Makers
Description
This workshop is designed to develop all the skills and techniques you need to produce beautiful unique ecoprints on fabric. Ecoprinting is a magical and sustainable process. Using heat and pressure you will learn how to transfer plant’s natural dyes and outlines directly to fabric. This workshop is suitable for beginners who are keen to achieve clear defined prints on fabrics. The morning will be spent experimenting with different leaves and foliage mordants on sample pieces so you can print your final piece for your lampshade in the afternoon. You will use recycled fabrics as far as possible and all waste materials from the process will be composted. This workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers. No previous experience is required.
