	Title:	Eco Printing
	Instructor:	Judith Colvin
	Length:	1 day
	Class Date:	Friday, June 15
	Class Time:	9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
	Description:	We will spend the day completing a number of projects which give experience in preparing bundles that give good contact between fabric and plants to make beautiful prints.
	Level:	Everyone
	Materials Fee:	$25
	Students Should Bring:	Craft scissors Large rubber bands (size #64 from Staples work nicely) Twine (strong, heavy twine works best. You will be pulling hard on this so thicker is better). Do not bring bailing twine. I use a twisted sisal twine. Other types would work. Garden gloves (to protect your hands when you are pulling the twine). Apron – optional 2 Containers – one to soak leaves in plain water and one to dip leaves in mordanted water – plastic tubs works well. 5 or 6 dowels (3/4″ to 1.5″ x 12″) You can use thinner dowels that you might have on hand but not longer because they will all be going into a communal dye pot or steam bath. Plastic sheeting (an inexpensive plastic drop cloth for painting will give you ample plastic) I am currently using .7 mil – I think anything under 1 mil would work.
