Event Details

Artist Natalie Linney leads a natural printing workshop at Lancaster's historic castle.

Explore the possibilities of rust and botanicals as printing agents in this centuries-old natural process, creating beautiful eco-prints on silk using salvaged metal and iron soaked leaves and berries. In a spectrum of earthy tones, create your own hand-printed silk scarf to take home.

While your print develops, textile artist Natalie Linney will share examples of her own work, showing you a range of natural printing methods.

Natalie Linney is a Manchester based artist and educator working with textiles, form, pigment and print. In her practice, Natalie utilises ancient dyeing techniques to make site specific prints documenting environment and heritage.
