Gold Leaf Variations with Lisa Binkley
Workshop Description:
Students prepare by selecting and collecting a favorite plant on which to focus their printing for the week. It could be one of the amazing local printers, such as grevillea or Brazilian peppertree, perennial printing favorites from a flower shop, such as eucalyptus, or leaves brought from home, such as oak, maple, walnut, pecan, chestnut, or sumac. Then we do a deep dive into mordants and the power they have to bring out colors and details in botanical prints. Employing at least 10 different combinations of mordants, tannins, and iron on natural fabrics, each student prints lots of samples of their one selected plant species to see the incredible range of what can be achieved with these assists. Samples will be printed on fabrics supplied in the class kit as well as fabrics brought from home. At the end of the week, we bind these into a fabric book of beautiful samples.

I have attached images for promo purposes. Later this spring I will be able to prepare and photograph more samples to send your way.

Kit/supply fee: $50/student
