Workshops

Leentje enjoys teaching and sharing her ample knowledge. She also likes helping creative minds to reach further. These workshops are both for beginners (if you are interested in technical details) and experienced dyers. Please look in webshop/workshop for more info.

Mordanting/dyeing (with shibori) April 12, 13 and 14.

We will dye textiles already mordanted with several types of alum and gallnuts. Working on cotton, linen, wool, silk and hemp. The colours used are extracts from madder, weld, genista, cochineal, chestnut, indigo/woad and one more dye to choose together. For example : Chlorofyl, Campechewood, oakwood extract. Something else ? Learning about the best mordant for each fiber ; sometimes there are alternatives. These will result in different colours and different light fastness. There are shibori samples and enough space in the dye pots for eager hands and minds to go in search of that abstract beauty. As we will be overdyeing we produce many shades. Max 7 participants. Minimum 4.
