Our Methods
The Pattern Creation Process
Eco print, also referred to as botanical or contact printing, is an artistic and environmentally friendly technique that uses natural plant materials to create intricate designs on paper or fabric. This method harnesses the inherent pigments and textures of various plants, transferring them onto surfaces without relying on harsh chemicals or synthetic dyes.
The process employs natural materials such as paper, cotton, silk, wool, and linen as the canvas.
Carefully selected plant elements, like leaves and flowers, are thoughtfully arranged on the surface.
These arrangements are tightly bound into bundles using strings or clamps to secure the plant materials in place.
The essence of eco-printing is steaming or boiling of these bundles. This heat treatment allows the plants' natural pigments to permeate the paper or fabric. As the pigments are activated by the heat, they are absorbed by the substrate, resulting in unique and organically beautiful prints.
