What To Expect
Create your own natural, botanical art print on paper using leaves and flowers from the local trees and plants in Ireland’s Ancient East.
Eco-Printing on Paper is a taster natural dye workshop, using dried and early spring foliage. We learn traditional dyeing skills and experiment with different natural dyes and layouts on handmade Japanese Awagami papers, capturing the spirit of the lush landscape by gently rolling your designs into bundles.
As we wait in anticipation for the dye to fix, we will have a cup of tea and discuss the dye process and the bright colours associated with our ancestors before revealing your design which can be used as a wall print, card design or book cover. It’s a beautiful experience watching nature and your creations transform into something new.
The majority of this workshop will be in the outdoor courtyard of the Tanyard so please dress appropriately.
Participants – What do I need to bring? Normally we say all you need is a smile!
However, to reduce waste & adhere to Covid19 regulation participants are asked to bring an apron or old clothes, and their own reusable rubber gloves (or they may purchase a set at the workshop).
