Duo workshop for 1 adult with 1 child (1 ticket is valid for 1 duo)
In this duo workshop for parent and child, you will get acquainted with the Japanese Shibori technique. You will learn to experiment with different natural dyes and create shapes and patterns by folding, clamping, and tying fabric.
During this dye workshop, you will work with natural dyes to create a unique party garland. You will experiment with plant-based colors such as indigo, madder, onion skins, turmeric, reseda, and logwood. You will learn how the natural dyeing process works, how to create patterns using the Shibori technique, and how to mix colors by dyeing fabric layer by layer.
Together, you will make 20 flags, enough for a beautiful, personal garland that you can take home and that will last a lifetime.
Marte Haverkamp is a visual artist who gives a contemporary twist to the traditional craft of natural dyeing. She works with dyes from plants, flowers, and kitchen waste to color textiles in a sustainable way. Each color is an interplay between material, time, and attention. It is a process that requires patience, experimentation, and connection with nature. In her workshops, Marte shows how this age-old technique remains accessible and relevant in today’s world.
