Dynamic Diversity in Textile Printing<\/h2>\n

by Elizabeth Balado \u2014 Sustainable Innovations<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Balado<\/a> is an artist, designer, and researcher from London, presenting a unique, experientially-driven workshop with her project \u201cBlooming Minds: Social Printing\u201d. Developed over the past year, the workshop combines the psychological and physical benefits of nature with community-based creation, by guiding participants to create their own prints. The workshop encourages participants to follow their own intuition to select and forage flowers and plants and then arrange a composition, before using a technique to transfer the natural dye onto cotton using a mallet.<\/p>\n

She will be presenting a variation of the workshop at the KEYHOUSE<\/a> during Munich Fabric Start, which will consist of participants applying the print technique onto tote bags, allowing them to create and keep their own work. Elizabeth\u2019s<\/a> research focuses on combining nature \u2013 especially the use of natural and recycled materials \u2013 and community, a social practice which weaves themes such as mental health while encouraging accessible creativity. Her current work can be found on her Instagram and website. Elizabeth is open to collaboration with foragers, biologists, mental health services and others interested about participating in further printing workshops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
