Natural Dye Workshop: Make A Holiday Tea Towel with Traditional Chinese Stenciling
❄️ Description
When the pigments of plants meet the quiet air of winter,
a simple piece of fabric can still hold the memory of warmth.
Join ROTOHAUS for a mindful Natural Dye & Stencil Workshop, blending the gentle art of 草木染 (botanical dyeing) with the intricate beauty of 型染 (traditional stenciling).
Using carved tung-oil paper stencils, we’ll revive patterns inspired by Tang Dynasty motifs and Dunhuang murals — allowing nature’s palette to glow softly through winter’s stillness.
As dyes steep, shapes emerge, and fabric breathes slowly, you’ll witness how patience, touch, and natural color can turn simplicity into quiet winter beauty.
当植物的色浆遇上冬日的空气，一方布料，也能悄然盛住来自大地的温度。
我们将用桐油版纸雕刻的纹样，复原大唐与敦煌的古老图案，让自然色彩在冬季重新苏醒。
