About the workshop;
In the beautiful setting of historical Amersfoort -The Netherlands you will find the first cotton printing workshop in the Netherlands, now turned into a workshop space, Airbnb,  and a small museum.
 
We will have three days of learning all about traditional natural dyes and mordant pastes.
You will learn how to correctly prepare your fabrics and mordant them.
You will learn how to create vibrant colors with weld, cochineal, madder, and indigo. 
I will teach you how to work systemically and how to make sure you have the same results over and over again.
You will learn how to make a mordant paste and create patterns that we will then dye in natural dyes.
You will create a color card with recipes to recreate at home.
 
Most importantly: in my workshops, we create powerful safe circles to interchange knowledge and our passion for natural dyes. Friendships are formed and our groups stay in touch long after we finish our workshop. 
 
Languages spoken: Dutch and English.

Transportation:
Absolutely do not rent a car! There is a direct train from the airport to Amersfoort (30 minutes, very comfortable). We work in the inner city, all hotels within the inner city are at walking distance.  Cars are not allowed to enter there. Public transportation is easy and affordable and you can also rent a bike, if you want to venture out a bit more.
