On the 24th of May, ‘Anthotyping Landscapes’ invites the public to experience the colors of the Amstelpark through a workshop of the textile technique of Anthotyping, an elemental printing technique using the force of the sun, wind, soil and water. In this workshop, we will experiment with Anthotyping with soil to test how plants become colors and motives on textiles. Participants will be introduced to our methodology through our Field Guide, and the event is opened by the end of the workshop to present the results to the public.
Materials and Field Guide are included in the ticket price.
