full of reduced indigo

The first session we talk about the process

and I am really happy about that

The back ground leaves (beech or hornbeam) are printed yellow ochre

I have sewn each piece and there are only 7 made

The ink will soften the first wash

You are welcome to bring your own materials to print on too

Students will get a large kitchen towel 38"x 38" and be able to print on our textile print table their repeat pattern

and then a piece of fabric is hand stitched to the backing for a clean look

No fabric is ever replicated so each piece is completely original

Because it is all natural with no bleaching

A quick carve "Block" all tools are provided
