Workshop: Natural Dyeing with Botanical Inks

Step into the enc­han­ting wor­ld of natu­ral dye­ing with bota­ni­cal inks, whe­re every piece of fabric tel­ls a tale of true natu­res beauty and magic.

Join us on a jour­ney of dis­co­very thro­ugh a cap­ti­va­ting 1‑day wor­k­shop, whe­re you’ll unlock the secrets of sus­ta­ina­ble dye­ing tec­h­niqu­es. Learn how to pre­pa­re dif­fe­rent types of texti­les, such as cot­ton, linen, or silk, for dye­ing, and expe­ri­en­ce the won­der of dye­ing them with bota­ni­cal inks deri­ved stra­ig­ht from the ear­th – roots, leaves and plants weaving the­ir vibrant hues into your creations.

All our mate­ri­als are sour­ced from orga­nic ori­gins, meaning they will not harm your skin, and will cause mini­mum impact to the envi­ron­ment. Good for your body, your mind and our pre­ci­ous natu­re. All basic mate­ri­als are inclu­ded, but if you would like to dye a lar­ger piece of fabric to make somet­hing off later, you can add that with your booking. We ser­ve a vegan lun­ch during this wor­k­shop day.

Your guide thro­ugh this wor­k­shop is Elze van der Hart, foun­der of a sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on star­tup NOORD LOOM. Elze is a fashi­on arti­san with a weal­th of knowled­ge gained over a deca­de of expe­ri­en­ce in the indus­try. This wor­k­shop isn’t just a class; it’s a part of a lar­ger visi­on to ins­pi­re and empower you with sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on prac­ti­ces rooted in the wisdom of color arti­sans, who passed the­ir knowled­ge to us. Join us in this cre­ati­ve wor­k­shop and craft your very own texti­les, one thre­ad at a time.
