Join me for a hands-on, two-hour workshop exploring the fundamentals of botanical printing with flowers.

In this session, I will guide you through the process of creating unique, nature-inspired prints on fabric using dried flowers and botanical extracts. You'll learn essential techniques such as scouring and mordanting fabric to achieve vibrant, lasting designs. Discover which plants and flowers yield bold results on cotton, and gain expert tips for preserving and drying blooms for future projects.

Using dried flowers and plant-based extracts, participants will learn how to transfer colors and patterns onto cotton. Each attendee will create two beautiful pieces to take home: an organic cotton bandana and Dye Kween’s signature flower power socks.
