About the event
In the Jardin des Couleurs and in the surrounding Nature, we will pick flowers, leaves, berries, roots and tinctorial bark.
From these, we will discover a whole palette of colors and create the subtle shades of our dye baths. We will learn the secret of etching, an essential prerequisite for color retention on the fiber. After experimenting with our palette on samples, we can go ahead and make a pretty scarf to wear in the evening!
Animation: Anne-Marie Forissier, dyer and teacher of manual works trained in Steiner pedagogy accompanied by Jaky Roland.
