*No prior experience required, all materials will be provided.*

Join Eli Zemper from Curiouser Clay as we explore Eco Printing! Eco printing (or bundle dying) is a sustainable natural dyeing process that uses plant materials to create a unique print on fabric. Participants will be provided a large cotton bandana and all the plant materials necessary to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind print.

Eli Zemper is an artist and founder of Curiouser Clay: a mobile workshop that brings creative experiences to communities within a one-hour radius of Chelsea, Michigan for teambuilding, family celebrations, community engagement, and personal enrichment. Eli also serves as the artist-in-residence at St. Louis Center, a residential facility for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities where she oversees the program Moxie Works, which aims to break down barriers in access to artistic expression, provide a creative economy for artists with disabilities, and encourage community collaboration in the arts.

This workshop is presented in partnership with MBGNA and the Arts Initiative.
