- CAN I WATCH LATER? Yes! Sign-up and we'll email you a recording
Event Description
Join Amy, pick up your falling leaves, and create something unexpected! This is an experimental workshop where we try things out just to see what will happen! No experience necessary – please join in for the joy of trying a new technique, which you can then continue to explore after the workshop.
During this session we will direct print using found materials from the natural world. In advance, please collect flowers/ petals/leaves. Flatter objects might print better, but I encourage you to test things out by selecting a variety of textures/ sizes and objects.
We will paint and print these, creating our own homage to the natural world, considering colour, placement, and pattern when printing. During the workshop we can share what we are creating and discuss what works well and what doesn’t, learning from each other.
Put on your old clothes/ apron/ gloves, find a clean surface to work on, or place newspaper on a surface to protect it.
Please review the materials list for the workshop below:
- Duration: 60 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
