Silk Scarf Printing Workshop with Katya Lebrija
Natural Printing is an exciting process in which fabric is bundled with foliage and steamed to achieve colorful permanent prints, creating one-of-a-kind pieces.
Artist Katya Lebrija will lead this three hour workshop to further explore the process and use your skills to design and create a 25”x25” 100% silk scarf. Learn how to make a mordant and apply it to the silk.
Once you've created and assembled your "bundle" it will be steamed and unrolled to reveal your entirely unique botanical design.
$200 per person
An introductory workshop to learn and experiment with the process will be held on April 25. Details here
If you take both the introduction to Eco Printing Workshop on 4/25 (price $100) and the Silk Scarf printing workshop on 5/2 (price $200) we can offer both workshops for a discounted price of $270.
I was born and raised in Mexico City, where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Universidad Anáhuac in 1995 and worked as a freelance graphic designer until December 1999, when my husband and I moved our family to the United States.
I have explored various artistic mediums, from watercolors and acrylics to printmaking. My current artistic focus lies in mixed media. I am deeply engaged in creating pieces incorporating various materials, including acrylics, paper, leftover monotypes, fabric, gesso, ink, charcoal, and oil sticks.
My paintings have been featured in exhibitions in my home state of Connecticut, Vermont, New York City and my native Mexico City. In addition to participating in juried shows, I have had the honor of hosting solo exhibitions and winning awards, a testament to my growing recognition in the artistic space.
I currently work in my home studio, and also enjoy painting with a group of local artists in CT.
