Botanical printing
Botanical printing or eco-printing is the transfer of the natural dyes of leaves and flowers to a substrate, fabric or paper. The substrate is pre-treated with a natural mordant, topped with leaves and flowers, tightly bundled and then boiled or steamed. The outcome is always a surprise, every eco-print is unique.
Dorris Duurland- van Dinther
Dorris is originally a photographer, documentary and portrait photographer. She also feels a strong connection to nature and works with elements from nature. She is amazed by its beauty. She zooms in on details to show this beauty, to make people aware of this beauty and the need to treat nature and our earth with care. Every part of her work is collected with care, attention and respect during the long walks with her dogs. Sustainability is paramount. Residual products from eco-printing are used to make new products.
