Found Object Printing with Botanical Dye Inks

A sustainability inspired experimental workshop utilising a range of print methods. Join us for a sustainability inspired experimental workshop exploring the visual language of found objects in combination with the natural shades of botanical inks. Through a set of guided activities your will experiment with frottage, pochoir and block printing with various inks and a variety of papers and fabric. You will explore an array of relationships between colour, shape and texture to create unique compositions, and will leave with a comprehensive range of print experiments to take home. This workshop will suit those looking to expand their printmaking repertoire with particular focus, practical examples and discussion around eco-friendly products and methods. It will introduce applications for natural materials whilst reclaiming and reusing versatile waste materials. What will I need to bring? All materials and equipment will be provided.
