About this class

In the midst of a creative atmosphere, you dive into the world of natural colors. You make your own ink and watercolors, experiment with simple means and discover the magic of plant pigments — mindfully, creatively and sustainably.

What you’ll do in the class

In this workshop, we make ink and watercolors together from vegetable raw materials — completely without chemicals. You will gain insight into the basics of natural dye production, develop your own recipes and learn how you can influence the color effect with simple home remedies.

It is ground, cooked, filtered and tried. You test your colors directly on paper — and at the end you take home your self-made colors as well as small samples or works of art.

The workshop is ideal for anyone interested in sustainable materials, creative processes and mindful design. You don't need any previous knowledge — curiosity is all you need.

Who is the class suitable for?

For anyone aged 14 and over who wants to work creatively with natural materials. The workshop is perfect for beginners — no previous knowledge is required. Also ideal as a special gift or group experience with friends.
