Bring Your Own flowers and Plants (BYOP) to create a unique botanical silk scarf.

Eco dyeing is a special technique that uses the natural pigments of plants to imprint color and images onto fabric. Local plants and flowers in season are wrapped into bundles and then steamed to print onto silk scarves.
Successful eco-printing using this method requires knowledge of (and access to) plants that are rich in tannins and natural dyes.

But what if you don’t have these plants?

In this class, we will use a “blanket” prepared with acid dye to create both positive and negative botanical prints on a silk scarf. This technique produces a scarf with a vivid background color and dramatic plant silhouettes. Plants may or may not have natural dye properties.

In other words, “ANY KINE” PLANT will work!
