Step into nature’s darkroom and learn to harness sunlight and chlorophyll to create remarkable images on leaves.

Popular artist and printmaker Jane Spink talks you through the compelling process of choosing leaves, making transparencies, exposing and then revealing a range of astonishing prints on leaves.


Choose a fresh leaf as your canvas, place a photograph printed on transparent film on top of the leaf and wait for the sun to activate the chlorophyll pigment within the leaf to create a ‘print’. Perfect for complete beginners, this remarkable process creates truly unique natural prints, perfect for experimental artists, nature lovers and print makers.

  • This alternative photographic process requires no chemicals or inks – it is a sustainable, eco-friendly and highly addictive method of print-making and capturing memories.
  • Both practical and beautiful, this immersive book will instruct and equip you to make your own nature-inspired art, providing techniques for printing photographs onto leaves or printing with physical objects, design ideas, projects and tips.
  • Passionate about connecting with the natural world, Jane Spink also encourages you to adopt sustainability goals in your own artistic journey.
  • Experiment with numerous leaf and image combinations, play with different exposure times and investigate various ways to present your environmentally-friendly artworks.
