For the continuing love of botanicals and paper!

This is a special Extension workshop where you can further develop the process of eco-printing on paper with new mordant, dip, dye, blanket and paper variable combinations.

Prior attendance at my Eco-printing on Paper workshop is essential.

Learning Outcome

This Extension workshop is all about revisiting the process and exploring new variables.

We’ll have a quick refresher about the process to get started. Then you have the day to dip, bundle, blanket, boil and unbundle, with me there to tutor, support, and guide you as needed.

Before the workshop, I will let you know what pre-mordanted paper combinations will be on hand so you can think about what you may want to achieve on the day. You are welcome to bring any of your own pre-mordanted papers. We will cook with 2 clean and 2 dirty pots.

All materials are provided – papers, mordants, dyes and local plants. You can bring your dyes, plants and mordanted papers if you want to.

You will leave this workshop with a range of eco-printed papers with different results due to different variables and combinations than what you created in our first workshop.

Inclusions

All necessary materials for this workshop are covered in your Materials Fee.

– different paper types for eco-printing
– botanical materials for our eco-printing
– mordants and dyes required for this process
– equipment for boiling
– tea and coffee, with a light morning and afternoon tea

Not Included

Everything you need for this workshop is included and provided.

What to Bring

Something to take your wet papers home – an old bath towel to lay your wet papers flat for the trip home will work perfectly.

Lunch. You can pop into town to buy lunch, but it is a few minutes drive and parking can be difficult (Maleny is a popular weekend destination). Therefore I recommend you bring your lunch and maximise the time you have printing and learning in the studio.

Bring a journal or notebook for taking notes during the workshop.

Safety

​Participants are advised to wear closed in shoes, and suitable clothing or apron that you do not mind getting dirty.

We will be working with natural, non-toxic materials on the day. Gloves will be provided to be used when we unwrap our eco-printed papers at the end of the workshop.

Read what past students have said about this workshop

  • I liked everything about this workshop - there was nothing to not like! I questioned if I was ready for this workshop as it had been two years since I did the Eco-printing on Parer intro course, maybe I needed to do the intro course again? Those concerns were quickly allayed straight up and I wasn’t the only participant feeling this way….. With you (Kim) thoroughly revising the principles of eco-printing, going back over the ‘technical’ essentials and illustrating this with the many examples of your testing was such a game changer for me - I felt I could comfortably re-engage with the process with a growing understanding. Thank you Kim! Letting go and embracing the outcome was liberating. I loved my prints from today. I’m now re-reading the course handouts you provided. Again, and as always, so thorough without being overwhelming with technical jargon. The inclusion of a technical sheet for each of the four pots was excellent. I appreciated that the essential technical data was already populated with ‘tick’ options for the variables we figured in for each cook. This made note keeping efficient and pertinent to each bundle as we progressed through the day. Another lovely group of people, a positive and supportive learning environment and a fabulous cake to keep energy levels en-point.

  • Had a wonderful day learning new techniques and different results from the methods we learnt. Kim is very organised and generous with information.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop as I found the first workshop a little confusing with all of the different variables, so this one helped me to consolidate the effects I liked from the first one. I also like using the different tins/tiles/bamboo/dowel variations again. Thank you for your brilliant organisation and the planning and time you put in behind the scenes in your brilliantly appointed studio.

  • I thought that [the workshop] was just perfect and that you had really put a huge amount of effort to get us working at a relaxed pace which enabled us to take in the information and tips that you provided. Seeing all of your research results and your beautiful prints is totally amazing and so inspiring.
