Atelier Seed bombs et impressions végétales

A fun and eco-friendly activity, the “Seed Bombs” workshop involves making balls of clay and various seeds, shaped into spheres of varying sizes. These small balls are a practical way to sow difficulty areas. This ancestral technique, long forgotten, was rediscovered in the 20th century by a Japanese botanist and popularized in the West with the militant Guerrilla Gardening movement loved at revegetating abandoned spaces.

A fun, eco-friendly, and poetic activity, the Plant Impressions workshop, originally called “tataki zomé,” comes from Japan, where tataki means “struck, hammered” and zome translates as “to dye.” It involves hammering plant parts onto paper or fabric in order to print them with plant-based dye. This ancient Japanese art is no longer confined to the land of the rising sun;it is also practiced in many other countries where it is also known as leaf pounding, hapa zome, ecoprint or leaf smash.
