FLOWER PRINTING ON PAPER/ECO-DYE

Saturday, June 13, 2026

9 am – 1 pm

$55 Early Bird / $65 after May 15th

Learn how to take flowers and leaves and print their image on watercolor paper creating beautiful eco-dyed paper, which can be used in a variety of creative ways such as gift bags, cards, and boxes; wrapping paper; scrapbooking; digital art, and more!

In this class you will create eco-dyed watercolor paper using flowers and leaves layered between paper and sandwiched between stainless steel wire mesh screens, then boiled in a big caldron of rusty water. After the "sandwiches" have cooled it’s time to unwrap and reveal the beautiful, eco-dyed paper - It’s so much fun! You will leave with 10 + sheets of eco-dyed paper and the knowledge to do it yourself at home.

ALL SUPPLIES AND TOOLS PROVIDED

WHAT TO BRING (optional):

Fresh flowers, as well as ferns and leaves that have strong colors (I’ll have lots for you to choose from too and we’ll be taking a little walk in the woods and yard to hunt for more).
Rusty nails, bolts, hinges, and bits of rusty stuff to add to our bubbling cauldron.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Cool clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty/stained.
Wear cool comfortable shoes/sandals, and bring a pair of sturdy walking shoes for woods walk/gathering.

SNACK TIME:

Snacks and iced tea with mint will be provided. Please let me know if you require non-dairy, gluten-free, etc. Feel free to bring your own snacks too.

We will be working outside in the shade and starting our day with a short nature walk to gather more plants to use for dying. Please bring a pair of good walking shoes for this little excursion. If you are unable to walk, you can opt to arrive at 9:45 am. (Please let me know in advance so that I will be sure to gather lots of goodies for you during the walk.)

ABOUT ME - YOUR INSTRUCTOR

I have always been an artist and I love to dye paper with plants, create creations from clay, draw cartoons and illustrations, and more. Most of all, I like to share my creative passion and help others find their inner artist.

When I'm not busy as president at FACES: The National Craniofacial Association, I'm at home in my art studio up on Suck Creek Mountain where the surrounding forest and family inspires me. I live with her husband Gary, “The Hippy Fox,” our dog Copper, and cat Critter.
