'Print Clan: From Plants' Printing with Patterns & Colours From Plants Workshop

Part of Print Clan: From Plants, A Weekend of Exploring Natural Colour for Textiles. Join long-time Print Clan members Molly MacFin and Elinor Scarth for a hands-on workshop exploring plant-based dyes, GOCCO screen printing and the natural world that inspires them. Learn about the plants behind the colours, from growing and harvesting to creating unique printed textile designs. What will happen during the workshop? Inspired by Molly's sustainable approach to textile design, this hands-on workshop will introduce you to transforming hand-drawn illustrations into printed textiles using eco-friendly GOCCO screen printing and natural plant-based dyes. Taking inspiration from the natural world, you'll begin by creating a series of expressive drawings before turning your favourite designs into reusable GOCCO printing screens. You'll then experiment with printing onto fabric using a selection of naturally dyed printing pastes, exploring layering, texture and pattern to create unique compositions. You'll leave with two naturally printed A4 fabric samples to take home, along with your GOCCO screen mesh, which can be reused again and again for future printing projects. Throughout the session, Elinor will introduce you to the plants used to create the natural dyes, exploring their origins, where and how they grow, their lifecycles in Scotland, and sharing practical advice on propagation, harvesting and sustainable production.

Print Clan: From Plants, Natural Dyeing with Indigo & Eco-Printing

What will happen during the workshop? Inspired by Keng Keng’s practice, this hands-on workshop will explore the heritage process of indigo dyeing and botanical printing. You will be introduced to the traditional process, creating your own one-of-a-kind dyed t-shirt through layering, folding and resist techniques. You will also be guided by Arianna to discover working with natural colour, learning how plants, leaves and botanical materials can be used to create unique textile designs onto fabric samples. Throughout the workshop, Keng Keng and Arianna will share their knowledge of sustainable textile practices, natural dye processes and the creative possibilities of working with plant-based colour. You will leave with your own indigo-dyed t-shirt and a collection of eco-printed fabric samples to take home. I have never tried natural dyeing before, can I come? Of course! This workshop is suitable for all skill levels. Everyone is welcome and no previous experience is necessary. Equipment Provided: All equipment and materials are included, including indigo dye baths, botanical eco printing materials and all tools needed to create your textile samples. You will be provided with a t-shirt to dye during the workshop, as well as fabric samples for experimenting with eco printing. You are welcome to bring along images, objects or examples from the natural world that inspire you, particularly plants, flowers, leaves or other botanical forms.
