Eco-Printing on tote bag, Kids Workshop!
Description
Kids will learn how to create natural dyes and prints using the eco-printing technique by transferring the pigments of flowers, leaves, and plants onto fabric. Through hands-on experimentation, participants will explore plants pigments, natural printing methods and hammering technique, while creating their own sustainable artwork to take home. The workshop encourages creativity, curiosity, and environmental awareness, introducing children to nature-based art-making through a playful and engaging process.
