ECO PRINTING: Botanical Impressions on Silk

$100.00

Sunday, August 9 | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Step into the summer landscape and discover the quiet magic held within leaves, flowers, and wild plants. Together we’ll forage seasonal botanicals before creating a one-of-a-kind naturally printed silk scarf using the art of eco-printing—a contemporary textile practice rooted in humanity’s long relationship with natural color.

As we gather and create, we’ll explore native dye plants, botanical folklore, ethical foraging, and simple ways to continue working with natural dyes at home. Each participant will leave with their own naturally printed silk scarf, take-home resources, and a deeper appreciation for the stories, colors, and wonder woven into the landscape.

All materials will be provided or gathered during class. Children are welcome when accompanied by a participating adult; each attendee must purchase a ticket.

Class runs approximately 3 hours

Your teacher, Madelaine Kraushaar, is a contemporary fiber artist and educator whose work grows from a life spent close to the land. Drawing from Indigenous Taíno ancestry, Appalachian folk traditions, and a deep reverence for seasonal materials, she works with natural dyes, basketry, and foraged plants to explore the relationship between craft, ecology, and place. Her workshops blend art, history, folklore, and hands-on making, inviting others to slow down, cultivate wonder, and create with the landscapes around them.
