The workshop in detail

  • 8h
  • 15 years min.
  • 2 to 6 participants
  • Up to 10 people for a privatization
  • Discover dyeing techniques with Pauline the weaver! 

    In her incredible workshop, she will explain in detail how plant dyeing works. There's an infinite range of colours you can obtain from metals and plants. This time, you will be focusing on indigo, for a beautiful intense blue! 

    First, you will start by prepping your piece of fabric. Shibori is a technique that Pauline often uses. She will show you the different stipes with knotting and folding for a personalised final result. 

    Afterwards, you will get the dye bath ready where you will be soaking the fabrics. You may need to repeat this several times depending on how deep you want the colour to be. 

    As you unfold the rinsed fabric, you will reveal a pattern of your own creation. 

    After gently drying it, you will leave with your dyed piece and new skills in this fascinating area!

    GĂ©nial, j'ai adorĂ©. Pauline est souriante, prĂ©sente, dans le partage, patiente et surtout elle vous laisse une marge de crĂ©ativitĂ©. Une vrai artisane lainiĂšre avec une attention Ă  une approche locale et environnementale, sans pour autant avoir une vision rĂ©aliste. À encourager, Ă  soutenir vivement

    Un atelier trĂšs sympa. Bonne ambiance, on se plonge dans le "travail" et on ressort avec un souvenir concret. Je conseille

    Merci Pauline pour ton accompagnement dans l'apprentissage de la teinture à l'indigo. J'ai beaucoup appris grùce à ton grand savoir dans ce domaine et ta patience. C'est assez excitant de voir qu'on peu déjà produire quelques oeuvres personnelles (bien modestes) à l'issue d'une seule journée. Il me reste à approfondir la technique! J'ai aussi apprécié ta passion pour ton métier lié par ailleurs au travail de la laine. Une chouette journée dans un atelier plein de couleurs.
