How to Ecoprint on Leather is a comprehensive workshop on understanding and ecoprinting on leather and designed to be suitable for all levels of experience! Ecoprinting uses the tannins, shapes and properties of Nature's leaves, plants and flowers to imprint those 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? We will be working on creating beautiful ecoprints on kidskin leather and lighter weight kidskin using Nature's colors for a natural imprint and techniques for added color on leather. The weight of the kidskin for the class can be sewn on a home sewing machine! I will have assorted tools and scrap leather available for students to see what is involved in hand stitching the heavier leather and a recommended tools list to continue! You will also learn how to select the proper leather for ecoprinting as well as care and maintenance of  your leather. All students are welcome to join my private Ecoprint on Leather with M Theresa Brown Facebook group. 

​

Because our studio is in the country, a Full Lunch is provided and includes scrumptious sandwiches with a salad and rolls. Coffee, tea and bottles water is available all day.

​

Students are encouraged to bring their own local leaves if desired (details sent in an email before the event!) but we will also be collecting at my farm. All additional supplies, as well as your leather, are included!
