Dye Workshop - half day
From €56 euros per person (transport incl.)
Learn how to dye local wool using Henna, a natural dye derived from the Lawsonia Inermis plant. Its use goes back over 5000 years with a symbolic place in the cultural and religious history of Morocco.
From a small farm set in an oasis close to the Sahara desert we source our high-grade Henna. You will use it to dye locally raised and hand spun Siroua wool, unique to the region and highly valued for its lustrous, silky quality.
This hands-on workshop takes place in our custom-built dye kitchen on the rooftop of our studio in Ait Ourir, with plenty of shade and far reaching views of the Atlas Mountains.
Our in-house dye master will teach you how to prepare the wool for dyeing and how to create a collection of beautiful earth tones using Henna and various other natural ingredients.
You will be able to take your samples home with you or use them to create your own weave in the optional afternoon weaving workshop.
