I am offering this plant-based print workshop at Bluewater Creek Farm, following their Saturday market and farm tour. We will be using black walnuts foraged from the farm to prepare natural color printing inks.

I will introduce you to the basics of natural dye practices, and you will learn how to prepare the walnut ink to print or paint directly onto fabric. I will be providing all necessary supplies and materials for you to practice on as well as a cotton kitchen towel for your final print. Black walnut ink does stain, so please dress accordingly. I will provide you with a pair of nitrile gloves, but if you have a favorite pair of comfortable work gloves, bring them!
