Helichrysum Hats

Service Description

09H30 to 17H30 Saturday 25th March The Studio, de Trafford Wines, Stellenbosch Beginners most Welcome! Eco-printing involves fresh, dried, whole & complete, wind damaged, nibbled, broken fallen leaves being placed on layers of fabric - rolled and bound tightly before heating to extract the botanical images permanently. A mindful process experiencing each season of nature as she gifts us botanical treasures and discoveries. Crisp strong prints on 1m of natural hemp-linen. We will hero the humble tendrils of Helichrysum and there after my talented assistant Gertie Mutandwa will sew your printed fabric into a gorgeous wide brim hat. Cost includes seamstress fees but excludes postage fees. The workshop will entail a full understanding of eco-printing on hemp-linen. It is a hands-on course where we delve into this wonderful medium of capturing nature between layers of thick linen. A wonderful mordant recipe will be yours which will create clear crisp prints. All eco-printed creations have to be washed gently in cold water with a mild soap and avoid a lengthy time in the sunlight.
