Member)

20 Washington Place
Providence, RI 02903-2787
telephone: 401 454-6200

Dates; Saturday/Sunday 30 -31 Jan
2010
Time: 10am-4pm
Class code: 2010/CW-TEXT-0132-01
The technique of botanical printing allows us to capture the
structural and textural wonders of the natural world and to transfer
them directly onto textiles. Botanical prints record the physical
appearance of a plant specimen by "inking" the actual
surface and then imprinting it on fabrics.
Class begins with an introduction
to nature printing techniques, using acid and fiber-reactive dyes
and methods of fixation. Fabric choices, ranging from plain silks to
linen damask, composition and pattern are also covered. Students
print many samples which may be incorporated into beautiful art
pieces.
