Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of natural dyes, nestled in the peaceful countryside of the Grünheide nature reserve around a historic estate - where flowers, leaves, and bark are transformed into vibrant, healing hues.
From 11–13 September, we gather in the wild surroundings of Bauernschloss to experiment with foraged plants - creating vibrant natural colours and exploring diverse ways of working with them. We look at mordanting techniques for both plant and animal fibres, experiment with iron and vinegar modifications, and enjoy more playful applications through wax resist and bundle dyeing.
The retreat offers ample time to relax, swim, do yoga in the beautiful Teehaus, and take walks in nature.
