Discover the magic of eco-printing on fabric with flowers and plants! You'll select your plants, arrange them on a bandana, and steam them to set the color—creating a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece reflecting the color of the season.
This workshop is a collaboration between Piedmont Fibershed and Riverside Collective, a community of makers, artists, and innovators in Saxapahaw, NC. The artist of Riverside Collective embrace the "slow art" movement, akin to slow food, which prioritizes sustainability and community engagement over mass production.
