NATURAL DYE WORKSHOPS
With natural dyeing of textiles you work in harmony with ingredients from nature. It's about creating in the way that nature does. Without exploiting her or to overcome her limitations, but by following her natural cycles and allowing her full expression.
By learning about different techniques and the purpose of natural dyeing you not only open doors to a new journey of discovering the beautfiul world of natural colors, but also doors within yourself. I teach you everything nature has taught me, so that you bring the colors into your own life with the creations you make with your own hands and with the right intentions.
