Dewald likes everything quilting. He loves beautiful fabric, designing quilts, piecing quilts, quilting 
quilts, writing patterns and, most of all, connecting with other quilters. He finds inspiration for quilts 
everywhere and recently started using nature to print his own fabric.
As a medical doctor, he treats patients every day. But when he goes home, quilting is his therapy 
and his happy place.
 
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Botanical printing is the process of transferring the natural dye colours of plants to fabric. This fun,
hands-on workshop will teach you the basics of botanical printing on cotton, including choosing and 
preparing your fabric for eco printing, different mordants, which plants (leaves and flowers) to use 
and the process of botanical printing. You will print your own piece of cotton (included in kit) which 
you can use in your next stitching project.
The excitement of the reveal of the detail of each leaf preserved in fabric is something you need to 
experience for yourself.
