Botanical Monotypes
ECO PRINTS ON PAPER

In this workshop we’ll create a few sets of original nature prints using a variety of methods. We’ll start off with eco printing leaves on cotton papers. This process includes dipping and soaking leaves with tannins before arranging, bundling and steaming them on paper to create permanent prints. While they steam and set, we’ll experiment with even more leaves, inks, paints, stencils, and other fun printing materials and tools to create layered monotypes, or one of a kind prints.
