Discover how to dye fabric using the richness of plant dyes!

With the ecoprint technique, flowers, leaves, natural dyes and even some food waste are placed directly on the fabric. The fabric is then carefully rolled, tied and steamed. Once unrolled, the magic happens: the plant prints reveal their unique patterns and nuances, offering a result as natural as it is artistic!

Workshop schedule (1h30) :

• General theory on vegetable dyeing and the ecoprint technique in particular.
• Recipe for mordanting on cotton and silk (theory sheet provided).
• Choice of plants and distribution on your silk scarf for a colorful, personalized result.
• An opportunity to exchange ideas and discover dyeing manuals.

All materials and utensils provided. You'll leave with a recipe booklet and your own naturally printed silk scarf!
