]]> Make magical autumn imprints with plants while learning the secrets of this delightful natural dyeing technique! You will create a beautiful pair of merino wool socks printed with plants. In addition to the traditional dyeing plants, we will use fallen leaves and seeds gathered in the city streets in the Fall. All materials provided.This workshop aims to teach the basic concepts of Eco Printing, a delightful natural dyeing technique. This process uses leaves, flowers, seeds, and bark to print colours and shapes directly on the fabric, creating unique designs. Each participant will create a pair of merino wool socks while learning about dyeing plants, the different fabric types, and the use of mordants or colour fasteners. In addition to the traditional dyeing plants, we will use dry plants gathered in the streets in the Fall season. In this way, we inspire a more comprehensive look of each participant to Nature, which surrounds us, with all its generosity and beauty, even in an urban area like Metro Vancouver.
