Botanical prints with plant dyes
Plant magic on fabric and paper
23. June 2024 11.00 - 17.00 | Berlin-Pankow
Enjoy a summer's day on the flower farm: Get Immerse yourself into natural dyes, surrounded by plants. Dye textiles - and paper -
with roots, flowers, wild plants and tree leaves!
In this workshop you will experiment with Bundle Dye and Eco Print dyes. I will bring a variety of dry dye plants and we will also explore what dyes early summer is offering.
Whether you have already dipped into dyeing with plants or are completely new to the subject, this workshop is right for you if you want to spend a day in nature and bring creative curiosity.
Make delicate, wild, colorful patterns or clean plant prints and discover your favorites.
You can try out different techniques and work freely with lots of plants. Switch off while working with your hands, in this workshop focused on exploring and allowing room for coincidence.
While also learning the most important facts about dyeing and mordanting.
Workshop: First you'll dye smaller fabrics to try out. You will learn about different pre-mordants and learn which ones are particularly suitable for bundle dye or eco print.
And we'll also give watercolor paper a try. Finally, you will dye a soft scarf from my favorite fabric made from light organic cotton.
Materials, mordanted fabrics, plants and other equipment are provided.
What you get: all of your samples, dyed watercolor paper, your scarf and a booklet with all the information for later reference.
I also provide a delicious coffee break: there are drinks, coffee and cake for the afternoon.
There are a handful of short breaks along the dyeing process - during which Mayda flower farm invites you to take a walk between the beds. You can see how 'slowflowers' are grown - local cut flowers, without pesticides - listen to the birds and watch the many insects buzzing from flower to flower.
We will spend the day outside or in the greenhouse, so you will need clothing appropriate to the weather. If it's chilly outside, we'll make ourselves warm with the dye pot in the house.
Where: Mayda Blumenfarm, Dietzgenstraße 158, 13158 Berlin.
The workshop takes place at ground level in the farm's glass house. To get to the toilet, you have to walk about 300m between the farm's beds, across the cemetery, partly with cobblestones.
