What a weekend! 90 students took part in our eco-printing with natural dyes workshop at TCDC (Thailand Creative & Design Centre) in Chiang Mai as part of a larger event focused on giving university students and youngsters inspiration and ideas for a creative and meaningful future. For the workshop we created designs using natural dyestuff on a silk handkerchief (primed with aluminium sulfate) which was then rolled up and steamed for 1 hour to set the colour. Normally the traditional method of eco-printing relies on botanical knowledge to gather leaves and materials from specific plants which are known to give colours. But to be entirely honest we still don’t know exactly which colours can be obtained from the plants growing around us. A lot of the information on eco-printing originates in Western countries and many of those plants don’t grow here. To get around this challenge we used our knowledge of natural dyeing. In our eco-printing process we use finely powdered natural dyestuff which we normally use when extracting colour for submersion dyeing. By using this process the effect is quite different from traditional eco-printing and the pattern becomes less like well defined leaf prints and more like the background landscape of an Impressionist painting. Colours blend and run into each other resulting in some beautifully organic patterns. Sappanwood, mangosteen, myrobalan, marigold and safflower petals came to the rescue with their bright summer hues! A few students went a little overboard with the sprinkling of iron which darkened their pieces – but we still think they look awesome! I feel as though we learned just as much watching the students at work. New ways of applying and mixing the powdered dyestuff as well as folding and binding the cloth for steaming. Some techniques we would have never though of by ourselves! We really benefitted from observing the creativity of so many bright young students. Thanks for coming everyone! ภาพจาก eco-printing workshop ในงาน “Young เวิร์ค” เมื่อ 2 วันที่ผ่านมานี้ สนุกสนานมากๆค่ะ ขอบคุณ TCDC เชียงใหม่ที่จัดงานดีๆและขอบคุณน้องๆนักศึกษาที่มาร่วมกิจกรรมด้วยกันนะคะ

A new pattern appears from under the paper. Brain coral makes such efficient use of the surface! Tracing its twirls and coils with thread makes me even more aware of its intricate beauty. Brain coral can be up to 900 years old!

I’m organizing my samples today and hoping to get them all put into my dye journal. I couldn’t help but stop to marvel over the fact that all of these colors were made by plants. Nature is so incredible

My eco dyed thread stash! ❤️ All these colours come from plants(and the occasional bug) I’m constantly adding and constantly using up. It’s a mix of materials: wool, linen, stranded cotton and perlé. Just looking at it makes me happy

This is how I embroidered the hoop from my previous post. I copied the pattern from my sketchbook on pattern tracing paper. I chose to stitch every detail. I also could have chosen to stitch the most important lines and fill in the rest after removing the paper. Sometimes I use a fabric marker pen with disappearing ink, but I have found that on eco dyed fabric the colour often does not disappear completely, do this tracing paper method is a good alternative.
