​Day 1: Eco Printing & Embellishment.
In this workshop you'll learn about which plants work best for transfer and how to choose which fabrics receive and hold the images. Learn how to condition and pre-set your wool and how various mordants can affect your outcome.
Because of the downtime element of allowing the eco printing "procedure" to take place, you'll spend the afternoon embellishing and adding various ephemera to the work included in your kit. Barbie & Cindy will have completed samples to look at and will lead you through a variety of stitching demos.
Day 2-3: Unveiling of your personal eco prints. Continued stitching and embellishing on either wool piece. ​
