Welcome to Botanical Socks Bootcamp

During the bootcamp, you’ll be introduced to the essential steps of botanical printing using socks as a simple starting point. Each section includes a short video to help you understand the process and follow along with confidence.

Inside the bootcamp, you’ll learn:

  • What scouring is and why it matters

  • What mordanting does and how it prepares fabric for plant color

  • How fixing (dunging) helps set and clarify your prints

  • How plants, fabric, and time work together

This bootcamp is designed to give you a clear foundation without overwhelm. There’s no rush and no perfection required. Watch the videos in order, come to the daily calls, and learn by doing and observing.

This bootcamp also serves as a gentle introduction to The Art of Botanical Printing, where we explore the process more deeply.

Step 1: Join The Community

Alongside the bootcamp, you’re invited into a private community space created just for this challenge. It’s new, intentionally small, and not on Facebook — a quiet place to ask questions, share your progress, and connect with others who are beginning to create with nature. This space was designed for focus, encouragement, and meaningful conversation.

You should have received an email with an invite, if you have not, please send me an email.
