Join us for our botanical monoprinting workshop where you will learn how to print with nature and create your own unique tote bag. We will discover and reveal the natural textures and shapes of leaves and flowers by applying fabric-safe ink with a brayer then pressing onto your tote bag and repeating the process to create a one-of-a-kind design. The extra large tote bags provide the perfect canvas for printing on. Plus they have interior pockets!
