About Eco printing workshop

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events / Family and Kids Events

This involves transferring the dyes naturally present in plants onto a medium. Here we will be using flowers and leaves collected on the croft, printing them onto fabric in the form of organic cotton tote bags, making pieces of art that will look like no other. You will be taking your creation home with you, to use again and again in your every day life. This could also make a great gift for a loved one!

Extra information:
- We will be using hammers to make the prints, be prepared to using a bit of arm strength, although nothing too intense.
- We recommend you wear clothes that can get a little messy.
- Our building is wheel-chair accessible from the main entrance on John's Place. Please let us know during checkout if there is anything we can do to meet your needs!
- If you want to take part in this event, but feel excluded by the set price, please get in touch and we will see what we can do! We want everyone to feel welcome in this space.
- This event is adapted to ages 6 years old and above, individuals under 14 years old must be accompanied by a supervising adult.
