Eco Printing Kit Beginner Version 4 Pack

This is our signature kit containing everything needed to explore the world of eco-printing as an absolute beginner. Host a crafternoon party and bring your friends together to explore the experience! The kit contains instructions, tools and dye binding agents (also known as mordants). In addition, you will also receive a selection of silk items and a starter pack of dried botanicals. This unique kit is the answer to the question 'how do I get started with eco  printing?' This kit brings all the elements together at a fraction of the cost of assembling the material yourself. This price will not last.

Why silk? Some materials are easier to work with than others. Silk is an excellent place to start because it takes botanical dyes easily and produces finely detailed prints. Start with silk before you use the kit to move on to more difficult fabrics, such as cotton and linen.

Eco-printing (also known as botanical printing) is the art of delicately pressing leaves and flowers onto fabric and using steam to imprint the material with botanical designs. 

Eco-printing can be used to create fashion items, gifts and home furnishings using natural fabrics such as silk, linen and bamboo. Cotton, polycotton, rayon and Tencel can also be used. When you open your first steam bundle and see the magic you have created, you will be amazed.

The kit contains

• 3 silk practice pieces, 2 silk handkerchiefs and  1 silk Twilly
• A starter pack of dye flowers, eucalyptus baby blue, roses petals and rose leaves 
• A user friendly instruction booklet.
• Access to subscriber content on our website, including demonstration videos.
