Natural Impressions:

Dyeing on Paper

A two-session workshop presented by Marilyn Zornado & Judilee Fitzhugh

OUR FIRST IN-PERSON WORKSHOP OF THE YEAR!!!!

About the Workshop

Learn the principles of dyeing with leaves and objects using heat and pressure, a process sometimes called Eco Dyeing. The focus of this class will be using paper. Students will prepare wrapped bundles that will transfer the natural dyes founds in plants onto paper. We will dry and flatten our paper and make a couple of small projects. You will leave the class with finished projects and paper to use in future work.
