Ecoprint on Leather: This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. Ecoprinting uses the tannins, shapes and properties of Nature's leaves, plants and flowers to imprint designs onto assorted substrates such as silk, wool, linen and other fibers. Leather can be a particular challenge. So in this workshop, you will learn the techniques of creating imprints on leather with designs in color and natural.
What will you be doing? You’ll learn to ecoprint on lambskin. sheep and top grain leather. Use your newly imprinted pieces to start exploring construction techniques that you might apply to making leather designs into beautiful handbags, clothing, jewelry, and even shoes. I'll share tips to types of leather, care, maintenance, sealants, softening and care. We'll explore hand and machine sewing on leather. We'll also use a basic die cutting machine to make quick templates for earrings and bracelets in leather.
Complete information, pricing, registrations and reservations will be on the John C Campbell website.
