Potato Printing with Bandicute

Potato & vegetable printing with Ellen and Jess from Bandicute

Ellen and Jess create hand printed garments and works on paper from their studio in Gunning NSW

Join them to create prints using veggies from your kitchen on paper and even fabric.

Tip: watch the video before you gather your materials and tools together to get inspired

Materials

Potatoes – from your local grocer or even from your own garden. Potatoes can be cut into different shapes and used as stamps in printing.
Other veggies – experiment with any veggies you have at home. What shapes can you make?
Paper – for printing onto
Paint – Any water based paints in your favourite colours.

Tools

Get an adult to cut your veggies into different shapes with a knife
Newspaper or a drop cloth to make sure you don’t leave any marks on tables or other furniture
Paper plates – for rolling out your paints
Roller or paint brush
Markers – to add in details
Cookie cutters in different shapes
