Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Here in the woods at Bentley Woodfair, textiles expert, Mo Jackson, shares her knowledge and passion for experimenting with the unpredictable art of eco printing. Mo talks through the processes with enthusiasts Emma and Katie: from the importance of choosing leaves containing the most tannin (such as rose, sycamore and Japanese maple), to the use of mordants to fix this natural dye, through to the varying visual effects created by the use of different fabrics and equipment. http://mofeltart.weebly.com/; [email protected]; http://www.bentley.org.uk/

I've done a few batches over the past 2 or 3 years and this is, without a doubt, addictive. I call myself the 'leaf theif' as I drive around town eyeballing the lovely trees and shrubs of unsuspecting people….bahahahah! Yesterday, I thought I'd try a batch with only vinegar, no iron or any other metal…fair warning, it didn't work at all. It all goes back into the dye pot today with my rusty bits to do their magic – thanks for sharing this great video!
Love this
Excellent
Thank you- interesting, and great to not have to listen to a pre-amble of waffle!
Lovely, thank you. Do you put the rolled tubes in plain boiling water or do you add the alum or what ever in that bottle to the boiling water? What is the ratio of the alum mixture in your bottle? Thanks so much I just loved this.
I sure hope she told the kids to wash their hands after handling the leaves that were in the iron solution. Quite irresponsible. (while wearing a glove herself).
Hi absolutely wonderful, so informative, perfect environment, thank you, I watched this 3 times, i get more out of it each time 😉 x
That is so amazing! Thank you so much!
She only had a glove on one hand – maybe she had a cut or something.
What a gorgeous video!
