What's it about?

A day of indigo dyeing at the Zeugfärberei (dyeing mill). On the day after the Färbermarkt (dyeing market) on May 2nd in Gutau. In this workshop, participants can create their own indigo prints and dye them in the indigo vat. No prior knowledge is necessary; all steps will be done together. Participants can bring their own fabric (natural materials like cotton, linen, hemp, viscose usually 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 to 90€ for students, apprentices, and people with limited funds. Schedule: 10-11 am: Welcome with tea and coffee, brief introduction to indigo printing 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 town where you can get snacks. 2-5 pm: Dyeing (sometimes it takes a bit longer) 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.
