Organic Matter Screen Printing Workshop
2 June, Organic Matter Screen Printing Workshop with Soufiene Ouarich, Kartell Kollectiv, 12pm to 4pm
Silk Screen Printing using natural dyes with Soufiane Ourich. A workshop devised by Studio Noujoum La Gironde and A.MAL collective for Harvest Festival Marrakech
Soufiane Ourich has been experimenting with natural dyes made from High Atlas plants, inspired by a previous workshop led by A.MAL collective during the Spring 2023 edition which explored our knowledge and connection to the High Atlas through the narratives each of us holds in our memory; collective and personal about Moroccan plants and herbs that are used in our everyday.
The workshop encourages a conversation about the relationship between plants and their colours. Soufiene will be sharing his research on creating natural dyes using High Atlas plants and working with them on organic handmade papers. Following his introduction to this research, participants will have the opportunity to examine the plant dyes as well as the opportunity to work with them to practice screenprinting.
The workshop will conclude with participants collectively exchanging and sharing their experience of working with the natural dyes and materials.
Throughout the workshop Soufiane will weave nature with art theory and practice.
