Botanical artist, Lisa Dawn White, will walk students through how to prepare natural fibers to receive the botanical dyes found in an assortment of local plants through a contact printing process called ecoprinting. In this introductory class, Lisa will share the techniques she uses to prepare (i.e., mordant) the fibers to receive the dyes and ensure permanency; select and prepare the best plants for printing, place the plants according to their shape, composition, and sun and moon sides; properly roll up a fiber bundle; and set up and tend to a steam pot. Students will create several ecoprinted textiles.
