Batik on fabric - dyeing with vegetable dyes

Dive into the fascinating world of textile dyeing and experience a unique dyeing course in Cologne. In this course, you will get an introduction to the art of dyeing textiles naturally.

We will search for plants together, including good old nettles, and carefully shred and mash the fibers. We then cook a broth on an open fire, which is the basis for our natural color soup. While preparing the broth, we will tie your T-shirt with threads using the traditional tie dye technique to create a unique pattern. We then dip it into the color soup to achieve the desired color effect.

In the cold paint bath, we have the opportunity to experiment with fabrics that have previously been drizzled with candle wax. These wax-decorated areas remain free of color and create fascinating patterns and contrasts on the fabric. Unpacking the dyed fabrics will be a huge surprise, because the tie dye turns into a beautiful star and the wax tie dye creates an enchanting starry sky.
