Eco-Printing
Eco-printing is an art-form which uses water, metal, and heat to transfer the natural color and shape of a plant onto paper, creating beautiful botanical prints. The group will learn about different methods of eco-printing, then head outside to collect plants from the Arboretum grounds and turn them into their own eco-printing creations.
