SUMMARY:EcoPrinting on Silk
DESCRIPTION:EcoPrinting on Silk Scarves \n  \nRemember those old leaf prints you made in elementary school?  Maybe you put a leaf down and rubbed crayon all around it\, leaving an outline of the leaf.  Maybe you painted the leaf and pressed it down on paper\, creating a print that showed the outline\, veins\, and irregularities. \nFast forward to today.  This class takes leaf printing to the next level.  Utilizing many of the leaves you can find in the neighborhood\, a treated silk scarf and cotton blanket\, and some steam\, you’ll create a beautiful\, one-of-a-kind project you’ll be thrilled to use or give as a gift.  It’s easy\, fun\, and quite frankly\, addictive!  The left photo is the silk scarf.  The one on the right is the cotton blanket. \nNOTE:  A good part of the time in this class is waiting for your scarf to steam.  Bring a project to work on while you wait! \nOne\, four-hour session.  $100 \n  \n
