Blockprint workshop

Blockprinting is a traditional printing method that involves carving a pattern in wood and using it as a stamp with natural dyes. The Indian experts, who have a perfect command of this technique, were able to teach it to the students during the workshop.

Natural dyeing

In India, natural dyeing is part of the textile manufacturing process. It is obtained from organic and mineral sources, then used to color yarns and fabrics. During a workshop, the students discovered different production techniques

Indigo

Once again, students were introduced to a traditional Indian technique. Used for centuries in India, this dye produces an intense, distinctive blue, a symbol of pride for those who wear it.
