eco-printing

Eco-printing is a natural technique for creating artwork on fabric by using plant materials. It involves placing leaves, flowers, and other plant parts on fabric, then bundling and steaming or boiling them. The natural dyes and tannins in the plants transfer onto the fabric, leaving behind detailed, often colorful impressions that reflect the specific plant’s characteristics. This process is environmentally friendly because it relies on natural materials and minimal chemicals, making it a sustainable way to produce unique, botanical-designed textiles. Eco-printing blends art with nature, highlighting the beauty of plant life through a eco-conscious approach.
