ECO-PRINTING STARTER KIT: Mordant Supplies & Silk Samples

$100.00

Bring the pages of Printing from the Garden to life with this thoughtfully curated Starter Kit, designed to help you practice botanical printing with confidence and ease.

  • This kit includes a fine selection of my favorite silk fabrics which are prominently featured in the book— perfectly sized for experimenting. These are quietly luxurious fibers that soak up plant pigment beautifully.

  • Pre-measured selections of mordant ingredients to prepare fabric and paper for printing, so you can focus on the creative process—not the math and measuring.

  • Whether you’re new to botanical printing or want a guided way to refine your technique, this kit removes the guesswork and invites you straight into making. See additional details below.
