In this full day workshop Kim will introduce participants to ecoprinting onto paper and wool and silk fabrics. Ecoprinting is sometimes known as Botanical printing is a method which entails gathering specific types of leaves which are laid directly onto paper or fabric to gain an imprint from the reactions of the tannins in the leaves. Participants will leave with paper samples, fabric samples and a printed wool scarf measuring 170cm x 25 cm. Participants will also take away extensive notes on continuing the process successfully at home.

These hands on workshops will enable children to experiment with block printing techniques while exploring the art of our ancestors. Children will create their own unique designs for printing based on real carvings found on Pictish standing stones, ancient Viking artefacts and Celtic symbols. There will be lots of time to experiment with mark making and colour as well as the most fun part which is rolling the ink and using pressure to create vibrant prints.

Printing can be a messy art so please bring an apron.
