Ecoprint on Leather-Naturally and in Color
About Ecoprint on Leather-Naturally and in Color
Join us for a one-day workshop where you'll learn to ecoprint on lamb and sheepskin leather. Ecoprinting (or botanical printing) involves collecting leaves, plants, and flowers to imprint their images directly onto leather using techniques taught in the class.
By the end of the workshop, students will take home two samples (approximately 8” x 18”) of ecoprinted leather: one naturally ecoprinted and one in color, along with the skills to continue their creative process at home. Instructor will showcase finished examples of leather products for student inspiration.
The capacity for this class is 16 students.
