In this workshop I will explain a bit about the background of natural dyeing as well as teaching you technical knowledge. After that, we will create our own textile which can be a garment, tote bag or wall hanging.
Introduction to Indigo Dyeing
Indigo is a world apart and in this workshop we will go deeper into the magical colour blue. It has it’s own special way of preparation. Using the ‘shibori’ technique we will create beautiful textile patterns together. Optional pieces are for instance a tote bag, garment, scarf or a flag line.
Indigo Katazome
In this workshop we will use the indigo vat for dyeing our textile and the katazome rice paste for making designs. Katazome is stencil dyeing which means you have a lot of freedom to create the pattern you desire on your garment or textile.
Natural colours for Children
This is an interactive workshop for a maximum of 8 children where I will explain a bit about the origin of colours. After that we will create our own designs of t-shirts or gym bags using clips and rope.
I also do workshops on location as a Baby shower, Wedding activity, Birthdays or other events.
All workshops are 40 euro per person or ask me for a group discount.
