Get swept away by the magic of flowers and their colours in this workshop!
Martine will warmly welcome you to her bright studio. You'll start by getting to know each other over a drink and a tour of the space, before settling down for an introduction to plant-based dyeing. A special focus will be on the dyes that can be derived from garden flowers.
Then, it's your turn to shine. Guided by the artisan, you'll begin by preparing the fabric. Next, you'll move to the garden, where you'll select your favourite plants, following Martine's advice and explanations about their dyeing properties.
What follows is mixing these plants into the dye baths and then dipping your table sets into them for a truly unique result! Martine will, of course, be there to assist you and answer any questions.
You will leave with your colour swatch and your beautiful creations, adding a botanical and colourful touch to your interior!
Note: This workshop takes place during spring and summer.
