Adults and Senior High youth have a second opportunity to join us for a special eco printing event. Eco Printing Art & Dinner – part II combines the beauty of nature, the joy of creative spiritual practices, and the delight of community and a shared meal.
You’ll learn how to harness the vibrant colors and intricate patterns found in leaves, flowers, and other botanical elements through eco printing, an art form that uses natural materials to create stunning prints on fabric and paper. We’ll be experimenting with processes that use steam & mordant and hammering/rolling. No prior experience or attendance at our first session is required – just bring your enthusiasm and a sense of wonder!
We’ll provide dinner, brief tutorials, and materials to get you started, but participants are also invited to bring materials from home to use or share.
Suggested Items:
- Leaves (especially those rich in tannins): blackberry, maple, oak, birch, alder, sumac, walnut, eucalyptus, rose, ferns
- Flowers: catmint, marigolds, coreopsis, calendula, pansies, rose, rudbeckia, violets, daisies, petunias, dandelions
- Kitchen Scraps: Onion peels, carrot tops, cabbage leaves
- Rubber gloves
Registration for our Eco Printing Event is required. Please contact our Director of Religious Education with any questions or dietary restrictions.
