Leaf Printing with Fauna’s Flora
Come spend a couple of hours with plant nerd and artist Fauna of Fauna’s Flora and learn how to direct print leaves onto fabric to create your own personal plant-y masterpiece!
In this fun class, you will learn how to use plant leaves and special ink to make a direct impression onto a shirt (or other fabric item you bring). You can proudly wear your creation as a custom piece of art! Each printing is completely unique and cannot be replicated since it uses real leaves which are as individual as a fingerprint. This art can be laundered with your regular clothes without fear of fading, bleeding, or washing out.
We will take the time to practice on paper and scrap fabric to build your confidence and have something extra to take home with you. You will have the option to donate the printed scrap fabric to be made into a quilt top that will be auctioned off and proceeds donated to Our House.
What to bring: YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF!! AND your own t-shirt. Feel free to bring an alternative if you prefer. Popular options are canvas totes and aprons! Choose your favorite shirt color, the ink choices provided will be black or white so it can show on any color fabric. Light ink prints on dark fabric and dark ink prints to light fabric so keep this in mind when selecting your shirt. Take a look at the examples and decide which color style suits you best. Please bring either a new off the shelf item OR launder your item, but do NOT use fabric softener as it hinders the ink adhering to the cloth.
$10 Materials fee covers: ink, leaves, ink rollers, glass panes, shirt press, paper & cloth for practice, visual aid for inspiration, and 20+ years of plant passion! Materials fee due to teacher at class time.
Fauna will have completed art pieces available to use as inspiration or to purchase after class.
