In this duo workshop for parent and child, you will be introduced to the Japanese Shibori technique. Learn to experiment with various natural colours and create shapes and patterns by folding, clamping, and tying fabric.

During this natural dyeing workshop, you will work with natural dyes to create a unique festive garland. You will experiment with plant-based colours such as indigo, madder root, onion skins, turmeric, weld, and logwood. You will learn how the natural dyeing process works, how to create patterns using the Shibori technique, and how to blend colours by layering dyes on the fabric.

Together, you will make 24 flags, enough for a beautiful, personalized garland to take home that will last a lifetime!

Marte Haverkamp is a visual artist who gives the traditional craft of natural dyeing a contemporary twist. She works with dyes derived from plants, flowers, and kitchen waste to colour textiles in a sustainable way. Each colour is a synergy of material, time, and care – a process that requires patience, experimentation, and a connection with nature. In her workshops, Marte demonstrates how this centuries-old technique remains accessible and relevant in today’s world.
