🌻 Eco printing offers unique variations and a world of possibilities that allow for full exploration, while mindfully collaborating with the natural world! 🌷

Hidden color exists all around us, waiting to be transformed into works of art. On Friday, May 1, transform ordinary plants into unique, colorful imprints through the process of eco-printing with artist and educator Katama Murray. By bundling and steaming natural materials onto fabric or paper, participants will watch as hidden pigments bond with the fibers, leaving behind intricate shapes, textures, and colors.

Adults and children are welcome; children 13 years and under must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited to 14 participants.
