Natural printing with tertiary students 專上學生的植物印染

I have a special project with the HK PolyU and my honour to share in a part of it for my natural printing with the students.  It's the first time for the tertiary students to encounter with such eco printing with direct prints from plants.  We used just rose leaves, sorts of ecualyptus leaves, sumac and onion skins.  They're creative and made the sample silk panels in two hours.

Shades of red, orange, brown and rich tones from onion skins


 With my simple basic skills they made the outlines and shades
Bright red from eucalyptus


 Clean and clear from lecturer's prints with only onion skins, simply bold and creative.


 Onion skins are really great prints.  The prints on silk with little outlines and shade looks like 3D effect after printing.  Even prints on the cotton iron carrier with pink shade of the original color.

All my pleasure to share with the students as well the lecturer's pleased with the works.
