Eco printing in the dirty pot

Using locally harvested, dye-rich plant materials, you will learn to create beautiful prints on fabric. The dirty pot takes advantage of the reactions between iron, acid, and tannins to extract and embed beautiful and lasting colour onto your fabric.

Day 1: You will learn about the process including how to set up your own dirty pot at home. We will discuss which plants materials we have found to be most successful. You will choose plant material to work with and create your own composition on two 100% cotton bandannas. We will show you how to bundle your pieces and get them started in the pot.

Day 2: Come back for a one hour unveiling session!

This workshop spans two days. On Saturday, you will design your piece using fresh and dried plant materials, and bundle your project for the pot. We will cook your project overnight, and you will return from 1 to 2pm Sunday to unveil your beautiful work.

The cost for this workshop is $70, which includes a $60 class fee and a $10 materials fee. Space in the class is limited, and registration is required. To register, please visit asil.ca and click on the "classes" tab in the menu.
