What's it about?

A day of indigo dyeing at the Zeugfärberei (dyeing workshop). During this workshop, participants can create their own indigo prints and dye them in the indigo vat. No prior knowledge is required; all steps will be done together. Participants can bring their own fabric (natural materials like cotton, linen, hemp, viscose almost always dye well. Be sure to wash it beforehand!) or purchase white fabrics by the meter at the Zeugfärberei (cotton and linen). Colored fabrics can also be overdye, which means the pattern will be in the fabric's base color instead of white. The workshop requires at least 5 participants and can accommodate up to 10 people. The regular price is 135€, reduced price 90€. Discounts are available for students, pupils, and people with limited funds. Schedule: 10-11 am: Welcome with tea and coffee, brief introduction to indigo dyeing and discussion of options. 11 am-1 pm: Printing 1-2 pm: Lunch break and drying time There are several inns and a shop in the area where you can get a snack. 2-5 pm: Dyeing (sometimes it takes a bit longer) The washed but still damp fabrics can be taken home immediately; a plastic bag is quite handy for this. Please bring rubber gloves and clothing that can get dirty.
