Petals, Peels and Pigments: A Workshop on Dyeing Processes
Harshita Prakash
The iconic block-printed or hand-painted textiles historically produced for the Indian and Sri Lankan markets were traditionally characterised by bold red and black dyes on a white cotton background.
In this workshop, Harshitha from Gida Living Colours will guide participants through the process of creating these striking red and black pigments using plant-based dyes and inks. Participants will gain hands-on knowledge of transforming plants into vibrant pigments, exploring various natural processes along the way.
Limited spots available. Register for the workshop to secure your place.
