Botanical Contact printing on paper is a wonderful technique allowing you to record nature around you to create beautiful prints on a variety of paper. Using knowledge and techniques that have a lot in common with Natural dyeing, it only uses Botanicals and no added acrylic or synthetic colours to create wonderful marks.
The seasons, the places visited and the happy and special times can be recorded in beautiful art work, prints, botanical diaries, and others and beautiful pieces and memories for times to come.
I am a Botanical Printer and a Natural dyer and I live in Glasgow Scotland. My Art practice is sustainable and I work with Nature around me to create prints and colours on all fibre. I research my methods and I teach them online live, and in person workshops.
I have been teaching Contact Botanical Printing for a few years now and I love sharing my techniques allowing all that I teach to become also expert in the technique. So far I have taught this method in an online live 12 months course and in physical workshops but many have asked me to put together a self paced course, more practical when time is precious or time zones different.
This is my new online self paced course and I would love you to join my community of printers.
With this course you will learn :
- to understand your fibres and mordants
- to select your equipment for a practical home studio
- to recognise your leaves and what they can do for you, (colours created, colour modified)
- to print blue and teal with Cotinus and other red leaves
- to save your leaves for winter printing
- to extract dyes and tannins via natural dye matters foraged or purchased.
- to create dye, tannin and ferrous blankets
- to simmer and steam for different results
- to understand ph shift and play with it
- to print red with Eucaliptus on paper
- to create a botanical paste to over print
- to create a discharge paste to discharge
- to create amazing prints and to neutralise and finish them.
This course is web based and includes 12 chapters (instructions, photos and small videos material). From Septembre 1st 2022 they will be delivered via email link, every two weeks and participants for this early release will benefit of an early bird price. The course is for you to keep and You will have access to a FB group for support. I will visit the group several times a week and answer your questions.
This is a self paced course but every couple of months I will invite the participants to a live session to touch base and potentially clear any unanswered questions.
You will be part of an online community and I look forward to meet you there.
Some of my previous participants say...
" There was so much to learn and you made it so easy with your step by step method"
"I love being in control of my prints and understanding my results"
"Recognising dyes to tannin was always an issue, I now know which will give me the effect I want"
"You made me love the leaves around me, they now tell me a story"
"I am amazed about my results... I did not think I had a creative bone in me and I love the results I am getting now"
