Capture the Beauty of Nature on Paper
Spend a relaxing day exploring the fascinating process of eco-printing while creating
botanical prints using leaves and flowers gathered from my garden.
botanical prints using leaves and flowers gathered from my garden.
Eco-printing is a wonderful blend of nature, experimentation, and surprise. As bundles are opened throughout the day, you'll discover how different plants, papers, mordants, and natural dyes work together to create these one-of-a-kind botanical prints.
Whether you're a mixed-media artist, bookmaker, collage artist, printmaker, or simply curious about the process, this workshop will give you a solid foundation and plenty of inspiration to continue exploring at home.

What past students are saying...
I cannot recommend this class highly enough!
Kathy is a superb and thorough teacher, and the class kit is full of her garden’s goodies. It's
overgenerous and so well-planned. I love my papers, and I want more eco-printing in my life!!!
Kimberly Logocki
“Thank you, Kathy! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this class and appreciate all you have so generously shared with us.
I learned so much. I can’t wait to work with the beautiful papers I dyed, and I’ve already begun collecting and drying
some leaves growing here around my house. I look forward to another class with you soon.”
Deb Dugan
“Thank you, Kathy, for a great class and for sharing your garden treasures and knowledge so freely! I really love every page I printed in the process.
Each had its own magic and possibilities. I’m so glad I signed up for this class. You are so well organized, easy to follow,
thorough, and your passion for your art and garden is so evident in everything. The package for the class was so beautifully presented with such care,
I knew I was going to have fun. Thank you so very much for a fun, interesting, and informative class!”
