BOTANICAL PRINTING ON LEATHER 
​This workshop is fully booked, email textures@grampianarts.com.au to go on the waiting list.
Imprint botanicals on to leather, producing strong, clear prints without destroying the suppleness of the leather. The prints are clear, but the leather is soft and flexible, strong but able to be sewn on the average household machine. Also explore getting background colours on the leather in conjunction with botanical prints.

Penny Jewell has always been fascinated by plants and all that they provide for us - whether it be food, flavour, fragrance or colour. For many years she has been exploring botanical and natural dyeing. Initially her interest was just in the plants of her garden and the forest that surrounds her home in the south west of Australia. Her interests have expanded to natural dyes in both India and Indonesia.

​She has both studied and taught natural dyeing in several countries overseas and is currently collaborating in an eco-dye project in Java. 
Her work is stocked in many galleries throughout Australia.
