Botanical Eco Printing Workshop
Naomi Smith | $80 - $100

10am - 12:30pm Saturday 22 November 2025
Umbrella Members $80 | Full Price $100
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL https://www.umbrella.org.au/botanical-eco-printing-workshop/

Join exhibiting artist Naomi Smith for an introduction to botanical eco printing. Using plants sourced from the Mundy Creek Landcare site and Naomi’s own garden, participants will learn how to prepare paper with alum mordant, arrange plant materials for printing, and create a bundle to simmer in a dye bath. The process transfers natural pigments from plants to paper, revealing beautiful, unpredictable imagery as the prints dry.

As the dye baths steep, Naomi will invite attendees to find imagery within prepared botanical prints. Participants will work with gouache and collage materials to embellish these prints, adding their own creative interpretations.

All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Participants will take home a set of their own botanical prints on paper along with a collage and gouache enhanced piece.

'Florae II' is on display 7 November – 21 December 2025.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Naomi Smith works across a variety of media including drawing and gouache, mosaics, printmaking with botanicals and screenprinting. She collaborated with Bernadette Boscacci in Florae, an exhibition presented at Umbrella in 2013. Naomi has lived and worked around many areas of North Queensland, including working as an Arts Coordinator and Community Development worker with several Indigenous Communities in the 1990s and 2000s. Recently her creative focus has been her Gurambilbarra / Townsville suburban garden where she is recreating endemic bird and insect habitats lost to urban development. This restored habitat permits close-up, day-to-day observation of nature’s ways and inspires her arts practice.
