Eco-printing on silk with Virginia - Wollongong (Sun 11 Jan)

  • Keftwork Studios 3, 128-134 Crown Street Wollongong, NSW, 2500 Australia (map)

Join me at Keftwork Studios in Wollongong.

Join me for an all-day hands-on workshop exploring eco-printing on silk. Across this immersive session, you’ll learn how to prepare your silk, and roll eco-bundles with natural botanicals.

Enjoy a short weaving session while the dye pot develops, and finish by unwrapping and washing your printed piece.

  • This all-day workshop is a relaxed, hands-on creative experience that is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with creative experience.

    You’ll be guided through each stage of the eco-printing process with plenty of time to make, weave, ask questions, and enjoy the unfolding of natural colour.

    Expect a supportive space, small-group learning, and a beautiful piece of eco-printed silk to take home. Tea, coffee, and light snacks are provided throughout the day.
