Hong Kong Natural Dyes Outdoor Workshop

Learn about Hong Kong’s nature while dyeing your own textile piece!

Over the past few seasons, CHAT has been working on the Seed to Textile project and growing dye plants to colour fabrics through natural means. This workshop invites families to create together at The Park of The Mills using organic, locally sourced Chinese indigo and cape jasmine vats. You will learn to employ resist techniques and dye your textile artwork bright yellow (cape jasmine) and deep blue (indigo).

Experience level: No prior experience is needed. Suitable for children aged 6 and above. Children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult. Suitable for families.

Materials: Each participant will be provided with one 100% cotton handkerchief (45 x 45 cm) for dyeing. Extra handkerchiefs may be purchased on site for 50 HKD each.
