Fabric Ecoprint Workshop | Natural Dyeing with Leaves

October 10 & 11 | During the Kunstroute Zeist | 12:30 to 15:00
Van Doornlaantje 9 (pedestrian area, 3rd floor) | Zeist

Discover the magic of ecoprinting during this creative workshop in Zeist. Ecoprinting is a sustainable technique in which the natural dyes from leaves are transferred directly onto fabric. Without paint or synthetic dyes, unique prints are created in which veins, shapes, and natural colors become beautifully visible.

During the workshop, you will create a composition of various leaves on fabric. The fabric is then rolled up and boiled, so that the natural dyes are drawn into the fabric. Every ecoprint is unique, and it is precisely the surprising results that make this technique so special.

While your ecoprint boils for approximately 2 hours, you can visit the Kunstroute Zeist at your leisure. Afterwards, you will unroll your fabric and discover which colors and leaf structures nature has left behind.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and advanced participants. You will go home with a unique piece of eco-printed fabric and inspiration to continue experimenting at home.

Materials

The workshop includes all materials. You will receive a piece of fabric to work on, and a wide selection of leaves will be available. 

Take home

After the workshop, you can take your unique ecoprint home. The fabric may still be slightly damp, so bring a plastic bag for transport just in case.

Registration and contact

You are welcome from 12:30. Due to the limited number of workstations, you may have to wait briefly even if you have a reservation.

After 15:00, it is no longer possible to start a new ecoprint. Your work can be picked up until 17:00.

This is a short workshop. Therefore, there is no time to explain the entire ecoprinting process in detail. Leave your email address and you will receive a detailed description afterwards, so you can continue working on it yourself at home.
