Printing
with Plants Workshop
16
February 2020 Ann Asakura, assisted by Jake
Wroten, led I.I. Chapter 56 members in printing
floral materials via two methods. In the first
method, the group arranged their plants to create a
negative print on fabric treated with Sun
Dyes. Jake demonstrated how weaving palm
leaves could create interesting patterns for the
negative print, which was tried by at least one
participant. The second method had members
coating their plants with acrylic paints and then
using brayers to press the pattern onto the fabric
or washi paper to create positive color
images. At least one participant tried
combining the two methods, doing a positive leaf
print over the earlier negative print.
