Eco Printing

Eco-printing, a sustainable textile art, harnesses the natural pigments of plants to create unique impressions on fabric. While the concept of using plants for color is ancient, the modern form of eco-printing is largely attributed to the work of Australian artist India Flint. This technique involves bundling plant materials within fabric, then steaming or boiling them to transfer their natural dyes. Eco-printing allows for the exploration of diverse botanical forms, the nuances of plant-based color, and the impact of mordants on dye results. Information obtainable includes regional variations in plant use, the science behind natural dyeing, and the ecological benefits of this low-impact practice.
