Capture the fleeting beauty of plants on paper...
In this course, we will explore the illuminating art of botanical contact-printing on paper. By harnessing the power of mordants (or how we prepare the paper to accept color from plants) we can create beautiful botanical works of art.
The process of mordanting paper is similar to that of preparing fabric, and in many ways its quite simpler to mordant a batch of paper versus yards of fabric.
Within this process, you can create framable compositions and unique cards with botanically contact-printed paper. Each piece showcases the intricate beauty of nature, allowing you to capture the spirit of plants.
