Some parts of the so-called dye plants are used for tinctures or dyes. They are used for dyeing natural textile fibres, as food colouring or body paint in ceremonies and rituals. Used for thousands of years, these plants offer panels of colors sometimes unsuspected!
On the advice of the Takoda association, learn the technique of natural dyeing on paper or cloth and adorn yourself with the thousand colors that wild flora offers you. After a guided tour and a game to learn about the dye plants and the colors they can make appear, a workshop will allow you to discover 2 or 3 natural dyeing techniques.
So, try the natural dye and go back with your creation!
