Dyeing and Painting Fabrics with Plants
A MONTH LONG ONLINE WORKSHOP
Live Sessions: 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st of May,
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
HOW IT WORKS?
-
This workshop is thoughtfully designed so you can actively practice and implement what you learn.
-
There will be 4 live online sessions where we learn and explore together. Each session requires a little preparation beforehand.
-
Learning continues beyond the live sessions. During the week, you will go deeper into the topic through additional demonstrations, process videos, and shared learning in the WhatsApp group. Since not all steps can be shown live, detailed videos, photos, and guidance will be shared there.
-
Participants are encouraged to share their experiments and reflections in the group, creating a space for collective learning and support.
-
All live sessions are interconnected and progressive, so participants cannot join once the workshop has begun.
-
If you miss a live session, you are requested to watch the recording before attending the next one, so you can continue smoothly with the group.
-
You will have 6 months of access to all session recordings and resource materials.
-
Participants will arrange their own materials. A reliable list of vendors will be shared after registration.
