✨ What You’ll Learn
Through clear instruction and stunning visuals, you’ll discover how to:
🌸 Prepare fabric for dyeing with easy-to-follow mordanting techniques
🌸 Bundle dye with flowers to achieve soft, layered color
🌸 Eco-print with fresh flora for luminous, detailed impressions
🌸 Mix the “Brilliant Mordant” for vivid results
🌸 Use the “Post-Mordant” method to enhance tone and depth
🌸 Try a “Quick Indigo” recipe (no vat required!) to create gem-toned greens
🌸 Choose the best leaves, flowers, and fabrics for successful prints
These techniques can be applied to both protein fibers (like silk and wool) and cellulose fibers (like cotton and linen), offering endless creative possibilities through the interplay of dyes, flora, and cloth.
Note: This course focuses on mordant and bundle-dye techniques and does not cover carrier blanket printing — that companion course is coming soon!
