In this workshop, the originality of which consists in going beyond the natural, participants will use several techniques to create ecoprints on paper and fabric.
The first part will be dedicated to the basics of the method, with the use of different baths and several color enhancers. We will also study the effects obtained with different plants.
Then in the second part we will work on color effects with watercolor paper in other mediums, transfer prints, embellishments before and after firing.
The results will give a personalized and creative visual.

The teacher
Chantal GUILLERMET & Lena MESZAROS
Chantal draws her inspiration from her travels, from the landscapes that surround her and from nature. She often uses her own photos to create textile paintings. Chantal dyes, paints, prints or bleaches her fabrics. She likes to mix and experiment with different techniques.
Most of her creations are figurative and recreate an atmosphere or a memory.
Lena: At the crossroads of several cultures, she creates figurative paintings that revolve around emotion. She calls them her "internal landscapes", where we find animated objects, imaginary places, situations at the border of the real and the fantastic. She uses a wide range of techniques: painting, acrylic pouring, embossed metal, ecoprint, burned lutradur, always in experimentation.
