FULL – Eco Printing – Alyson Scott
HALF-DAY WORKSHOP – October 4, 2025 | 1 pm – 4 pm
Turn plants into patterns in this hands-on workshop exploring the magic of eco printing. Using a mix of dried and fresh flowers, onion skins, avocado pits, and other natural materials, you’ll learn how to bundle and steam botanicals into fabric to create a unique cotton bandana.
Whether you’re curious about natural dyes, sustainable textiles, or just want to spend the day immersed in nature and creativity, this workshop offers a slow, sensory experience rooted in curiosity and colour. No experience needed—just bring your love of plants! You’ll leave with your own eco-printed bandana and a deeper appreciation for the quiet stories held in leaves and petals.
