SUMMARY:Plant-Human Workshop 3: Printing Nature (CIDRAL)

DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we consider what it means to pick a found le
 af\, flower\, root\, or plant and to create an impression on paper of it
 . The practice of ‘nature printing\,’ is about taking impressions direct
 ly from the surface of natural objects to produce visual representations
  on paper. The surface of a freshly-cut or dried plant\, or other natura
 l object\, is covered with ink and pressed – either by hand or by a hand
 -operated press – onto paper\, leaving a clear and detailed impression. 
 The result is a one-to-one scale print with the properties of the specim
 en stuck onto the surface of the paper. The size and fragility of the or
 iginal specimen dictates the modus operandi. No two prints are the same.
  Recognised as the earliest precursor to photography\, direct printing w
 as applied in the study of useful and medicinal botanical species as par
 t of the wider project of botanical classification and empire. The proce
 ss developed alongside the evolution of botanical science and research i
 nto plant physiology\; printing directly from specimens\, scientists and
  plant enthusiasts could visualise plants in a cheap and simple way for 
 greater visual and textural impact. Ultimately\, in this workshop we con
 sider what the difference between seeing a plant\, and ‘feeling it’ migh
 t mean for us in the context of Manchester today.\n\n*Please note: Event
