Discover the benefits of using plant extracts to appreciate the beauty of natural color. This guide explains how to utilize the technique to look for possible color in the plants that grow all around you. Wool, silk, hemp, linen, and cotton samples will be used to illustrate how to prepare these diverse textiles for dying. You'll then learn how to color using plant extracts like cutch and sapanwood. By modifying the fabrics in iron, acid, and alkaline baths later in the workshop, we'll expand the color spectrum.
By the end of the course, you'll have a swatch book with samples of every color of cloth, along with thorough instructions that break down every step. Everything you require to conduct experiments at home will be provided before you leave. This session is recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about natural dyes and try something new. It ought to make you feel more at home in your surroundings and make you aware of the unnoticed hues all around you.
The course runs from 10 am to 12:30 pm.

Natural dyes can be used to color cloth and fibers in a sustainable fashion. Natural dyes stand for the idea that imagination, talent, what we produce, how we dress, and the natural world are all interconnected. We hold genuine beliefs that a connection to history and culture can be made via color, as dyes demonstrate.
