Wearable Garden: Screenprinting With Plants

In this full-day workshop, artist Erin MacKeen will show students how to use live or pressed leaves and flowers to make screens for printing on textiles and design your own organic cotton bandana.

Bring some foraged specimens (there will also be some available) and use these elements to embellish clothing, make quilting pieces, customize a tote bag, or sew into your next project.

You will also learn a DIY method that will allow you to continue printing at home.

Practice fabric and bandanas will be provided but students can bring their own additional pre-washed, natural fibre (cotton and linen) items for further printing.

No previous screen printing experience required. Beginners welcome!
