Eco-Printing on Silk Scarves: From Plant to Print
by Suzanne Chappell & Nettie Roberts
Nettie and Suzanne shared their eco-printing journey of discovery. They explained that eco-printing is the transfer of plant images onto cloth, paper or leather, and it can be done with or without the use of mordants. The natural juices and tannins present in plant leaves and flowers magically produce different colored prints on, in our case, fabric. They also gave a demo.
Nettie Roberts is an artist who likes to experiment with anything fiber.
Suzanne Chappell is primarily a weaver who likes to dabble.
