    Hidden color exists all around us, waiting to be transformed into works of art. Eco printing is the process of bundling and steaming both plants and food waste onto either fabric or paper, allowing the natural pigments to transfer to the prepared substrate. All of the colors, shapes, and textures that bond with the fiber come from the materials themselves, leaving their incredible imprints for us to enjoy. Eco printing offers unique variations and a world of possibilities that allow for full exploration, while mindfully collaborating with the natural world!

    Participants will print onto a set of mordanted fabric samples, including a cotton bandana, tote bag, and linen cloth. Create beautiful, one of a kind pieces that can be admired forever, while taking time to slow down and appreciate the diversity of patterns, shapes and ideas dwelling alongside and within us. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
    No experience is necessary to join, and all are welcome!
