4)       Colour Me Wild (*Holi Special)

Ages ago, the colours used by us in cloth or for printing, for playing Holi or any other purpose were natural ones. This workshop gives you an interesting learning experience with natural dyes in dyeing and printing of textiles. Every participant gets to make his own 1/2 metre of dyed and printed fabric using eco-friendly natural dyes and pigments. You can also sample some naturally-dyed garments at the end.

In case you choose this workshop during Holi, we can create a colourful holi program involving the use of all natural colours in water base.
