The Foundation of Botanical Printing
The Foundation of Botanical Printing is a 2-day in-depth workshop on sustainable eco-printing with all materials supplied.
Have you been interested in learning eco-printing, but unsure of where to start or not getting the results you were hoping for? In this 2 day workshop, you will learn the foundations of eco-printing. We will wander and mindfully gather wind fallen leaves at the stunning Maroochy Botanical Gardens on the Sunshine Coast and learn how to successfully print on paper and cloth. You will learn the non-toxic way to make and mordant your fibres, bundle in many different ways to produce marks, taking home an array of results on paper, cellulose and protein fibres with a booklet outlining the whole process. You will end the workshop with your new-found knowledge, creating a wool scarf as a wearable remembrance of your time with us, plus all the handy hints in between to sustain you on your eco-dyeing journey.

World Leprosy Sunday 2021
World Leprosy Day is observed globally each year on the last Sunday in January (31 January 2021), with the aim of raising awareness and knowledge about leprosy, the fact that it can be cured and to change attitudes that stigmatise and marginalise people affected by the disease.
During the months following World Leprosy Day, you are invited to hold your own World Leprosy Day event at your church, organisation or small group. Your event will change lives and save lives in a very real way. CLICK HERE to download the free resources and toolkits to make your event spectacular.
Leprosy still exists. Did you know that every 2 minutes, a person is diagnosed with leprosy? For people affected by leprosy, the battle isn’t only against the disease, it is also against the despair of being rejected by their community. Help to stop the pain of rejection for people affected by leprosy this World Leprosy Day (or hold your own). Your support will help with the early diagnosis and treatment of leprosy and help stop it from leading to nerve damage, ulcers, and permanent disability. And provide community education to end the stigma.
