Get swept away by the magic of flowers and their colours in this workshop!
Martine will warmly welcome you to her bright studio. You'll start by getting to know each other over a drink and a tour of the space, before settling down for an introduction to plant-based dyeing. A special focus will be on the dyes that can be derived from garden flowers.
Then, it's your turn to shine. Guided by the artisan, you'll begin by preparing the fabric. Next, you'll move to the garden, where you'll select your favourite plants, following Martine's advice and explanations about their dyeing properties.
What follows is mixing these plants into the dye baths and then dipping your table sets into them for a truly unique result! Martine will, of course, be there to assist you and answer any questions.
You will leave with your colour swatch and your beautiful creations, adding a botanical and colourful touch to your interior!
Note: This workshop takes place during spring and summer.

Dyer
Trained as a stylist and pattern maker, Martine specialises in materials and colour.
Her professional journey follows the theme of textiles: designing fabrics, creating children's clothing for major brands, developing an organic cotton sector, collaborating with a weaving and knitting factory... She even creates her own brand of plant-based dyes on organic cotton to support vulnerable families in Bombay.
In 2015, Martine embarked on a new entrepreneurial project, which she named Indigo Blue Creation. Committed to ecology and slow fashion, she offers unique designs in plant-based dyes, made from natural materials sourced from local weavers. She also recycles old linens.
Passionate and educational, Martine now aims to pass on the keys to her expertise through workshops, while raising awareness about the ecological and social issues of the textile industry.
