Summer At IMMA: Botanical Printing on Textiles

Location: Matheson Creativity Hub

Explore plant-based printing as a method of archiving local ecologies and histories. Using plants, flowers and some food scraps participants will learn how to make beautiful long-lasting prints while considering what these plants bear witness to – human intervention, systems of extraction and care, neglect and resilience.

During our time together you’re invited to reflect on your relationship with textiles- not only as personal or familial objects, but as carriers of memory, labour and cultural inheritance. You may wish to share a story about a meaningful heirloom, your interactions with plants and land, or how these materials hold histories shaped by displacement, resistance, care, and inherited forms of knowledge.

During the workshop, you’ll also learn what kinds of plants make the best long-lasting prints and how to prepare fabrics to get the best results.
