Want to discover the magical world of natural colours? Join our natural dyeing workshop 🎨

Natural dyeing is an ancient craft that combines nature and creativity. We will learn about the best fabrics for dyeing, sources of natural dyes at home, and techniques for creating patterns on fabric.
Since prehistoric times, natural materials have been transformed into dye. Clays, berries, leaves, roots, and insects created a rich palette of colours ranging from reds to browns, yellows to greens.

Objectives of the activity:

• Raise environmental awareness among children.
• Reflection on the use of dyes and synthetic fibres.
• Identify different plants.
• Concept of pigment as a natural dye.
• Support the development of fine motor skills, creativity, confidence, autonomy, concentration, among other skills.
• During the boiling times in both techniques, children will play some environmental games and paint on paper with natural dyes.
