Bundle Dyeing Workshop
Explore the art of eco-printing in a creative and playful atmosphere
Location: Kallirois Parren 3, Athens
Duration: 2.5 hours (11:00 - 13:30)
Class size: Maximum 6 students
What you will learn:
In this workshop, you’ll dive into the fascinating world of bundle dyeing, a contemporary technique first developed by India Flint in Australia.

Introduction to Plants: Learn about different plants and flowers that can be used to create stunning prints.
Bundle Dyeing Techniques: Discover the folding and rolling methods that give you endless possibilities for creating unique patterns.
Mordants & Fabric Choices: Understand the role of mordants in the dyeing process and which fabrics work best for eco-printing.
Unpredictability & Creativity: Embrace the spontaneous nature of the process, allowing you to experiment and play with different styles.
What you will make:
Each participant will have the opportunity to print on a 100% silk scarf (45x45 cm) using the bundle dyeing technique, creating a unique piece of wearable art to take home.
What to bring:
Please bring a notebook to jot down your insights and creative ideas throughout the workshop.
Language:
The workshop is taught in Greek and/or English, depending on the participants.
