Year 11 Design – Foliage Dyeing

  

This is a natural dyeing method that creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves, herbs and vegetables.

Tamara Bennett, Lucy Hallot, Noah Harris, Ella Parvin, Hannah Pocock-Scott & Karma-Anne Van Der Merwe

The technique works by creating imprints of flowers, petals, leaves, herbs and vegetables onto a sample of natural fabric.  We used flowers and leaves as the main feature of our designs.  They were placed between two layers of cotton lawn and hit and rolled with a rolling pin.  They were left wrapped overnight and then released and heat set the next day.  We were excited with the results.
