Natural Dyeing in a Small Group — Bundle Dye - from 3 people
🌿 Private bundle dye workshop for small groups in Cologne. Includes T-shirt, color chart on watercolor paper, and full post-processing in the studio.

Plants & Flowers
Dyeing with genuine natural materials using the bundle-dye process.
Unisex T-shirt included
Private & Personal
Exclusive to your group (3–8 people).
In this private group event, you will dye with plants, flowers, and natural materials. By wrapping, tying, and steaming, organic patterns emerge that only reveal themselves after opening – each piece becomes unique.
At the beginning, each person creates a small color swatch on watercolor paper – using plants, flowers, and a little water or vinegar. This makes the color behavior of the materials visible before applying them to the T-shirt.
During the steaming time, there is space for conversation, breaks, and shared experiences. The workshop is guided and calmly structured. No prior knowledge is necessary.
We take care of the complete post-processing – washing out, fixing, ironing. You can pick up your textiles after approx. 7 days or have them sent to you.
Optionally, sports socks (Made in Germany) can be booked on-site and dyed as well.
