Eco-printing workshop with Jo Alm

Eco-printing is a technique that transfers the colours and shapes of plant material such as leaves, flowers, bark or seeds onto paper or cloth.

When the plant material is combined with water, heat and a mordant (a substance that fixes the colour) the image of the plant is transferred onto the paper or cloth with stunning detail.
