Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School invites you to experience bundle-dyeing! Bundle-dyeing is a simple, fun way to create colour on natural fibres using plant materials and even food waste.
Each participant will select from the plant matter provided which they will arrange on a silk scarf ( included in the price ). Once rolled up and secured, this will then be steamed.
While this is happening, participants can enjoy a kawakawa tea brewed on an open fire while wandering in the permaculture garden nearby.
During the downtime, we can try some Hapazome! Hapazome is a Japanese word meaning leaf print. Once the technique of pounding with a mallet has been mastered, beautiful patterns can be created in cloth and paper by arranging flowers and leaves into patterns.
Each participant will be given a piece of cloth to practice on and a small cotton gift bag to decorate and take home.
Hosted by Susanne Cole.
Ages 14+, or 9-14 with a supervising adult.
Please note – people work at different paces for this process, so the finish time may be between 11.30 and midday.
