Registration required (adults) Nature Printing is the art of recreating images of found objects from nature. Little has changed from ancient times. This process has been practiced as an art, a craft and an aid to scientific study. Participants will learn about the history and techniques of nature printing while creating a wearable work of art using leaves, textile inks and recycled fabrics. We will also experiment using the etching press to create a one-of-a-kind nature art image on paper called a monoprint.
