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
