The Workshop

Eco-printing is a sustainable botanical print technique that transfers a natural print onto fabric. In the eco-printing process, colour is extracted from natural plant materials, like marigold and english rose and transferred onto the fabric, secured by steam.

The beauty of eco-printing is that no piece of fabric will ever be exactly replicated. Each garment made from eco-printing is completely unique and irreproducible. The print depends on the placement of the petals as they are scattered on the fabric by hand. It is also a completely natural and slow technique that uses renewable materials and is not harmful to the environment.

All materials are provided for you to create your own unique eco printed silk scarf.
