2 Day | Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 March 2021
BOTANICAL PRINTING ON LEATHER 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. |
4 Day | Monday 15 – Thursday 18 March 2021
ECO PRINT Start with bundling and ecoprinting with botanicals on protein fabrics then move to more complex recipes and techniques for successfully printing on cellulose. Explore the interaction of tannins, mordants and dye blankets to obtain interesting background colours and textures with clear 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.
