In this workshop, we will work with plant pigments. You will be introduced to the basics of extracting colors from plants and making them last. If you are interested in how non-toxic, natural dyes can be applied to the fabric, join us in our new studio at Exerzierstraße 8.
This workshop will cover:
- experimenting with different shibori techniques
- preparing the fabric for the dyeing process
- extracting plant pigments and where to find them
