We're excited to partner with our friend and collaborator, Monica Medeiros of Bricolage Press, for her first Eco-Printing on Silk workshop at Flower Porch!

"Monica Medeiros is an interdisciplinary artist with a deep appreciation for slow craft. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Mills College in Oakland, California. She began experimenting with the intersection of printmaking and natural dyes in 2016 after unlocking the secret world of color hiding in her garden. She has been teaching craft workshops since 2014, and has taught throughout the US and internationally. She lives and maintains her art practice in Vallejo, California with her rescue dogs, Lupita and Pablo."

We’ll begin the morning with a guided farm tour and flower harvest led by Jaclyn, Creative Director of Flower Porch. Then, we’ll move into the studio where Monica will guide us through the art of Eco-printing, "a bewitching process that uses the natural dye properties of plants to create prints on fabric and paper". Each participant will learn the basics of Eco-printing with a focus on creating their own unique silk charmeuse scarf. 

This experience is designed for all skill levels and welcomes anyone seeking an introduction to the art of natural dyeing and using plants to create prints on fabric. 

This experience includes:

• Light refreshments upon arrival
• A guided farm tour and harvesting demonstration
• Instruction and all materials to create one Eco-printed silk scarf
  

Please arrive on time so we can move through the full experience together. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for walking around the farm.
