Eco Printing
Using natural material to create images from nature
Eco Printing, the general name for this contact process, uses the natural pigments of plant material to transfer imagery using heat to a substrate, often paper or fabric.
The many steps to the process
The Eco Printing process involves a number of steps - preparing the substrate, in this case fabric, to accept the dye transfer; composing the plant material for a pleasing composition; covering with a dye blanket, bundling tightly to maintain contact; immersion in the prepared “hot pot” for 90 minutes or more; then unrolling to reveal the transfer.
