The experience of botanical printing with Gum Leaves lead me down a path of falling in love with the surrounding natural world. This love affair continues. As my botanical experimentation has continued to expand, so has my realisation of the untapped potential of nature.
It has been exciting to see some leading designer brands begin to embrace botanically printed and dyed textiles to improve their impact on the environment.
"The fashion industry's approach to colour creation and colour evolution is due a reset. Current expectations are unsustainable and a shift to a more responsible agenda that fosters a new relationship with colour and pattern will see naturally derived colour playing a bigger part in the product strategies of the future."
Botanically printing a silk scarf is a great introduction into the world of Natural Printing methods.
Over a couple of hours you can learn the process by printing your own silk scarf.
As soon as it is safe, I will be starting to run short 3 hour workshops for small groups, in the outdoor bushland location of my own studio.
It's great to have something to look forward to. Why not make this your emerging from lockdown gift to yourself.
