Upcoming Events

This two day workshop will dive into creative  exploration of eco-printing and handmade bookmaking using flower dye baths. We'll respectfully forage nearby plants and flowers to make prints on watercolour paper using a bundle and steam technique. The eco prints will be enhanced by immersing bundles in locally sourced flower dye baths leaving beautiful colour residues that will infuse edges of the pages. We’ll create our books binding them using a simple slip knot technique. Each book becomes a reflection of place, season, and your own creative expression.
