Workshops in Dresden
Several workshops are planned in Dresden in 2024! Dyeing with local plants, bundle dye, indigo and inks.
The workshops are hosted by Wandelgrund in Naußlitz.
Dates to be announced. You can also sign up for the Wandelgrund newsletter to receive information when there is something to report in general. (This newsletter is not written by me. You can find my newsletter here, both are in German).

Dye at home
There's help to get you started with plant dyeing at home! Dyeing kits to get you started right away are available in English.
And I have a deep-dive video course if you want to really get into the basics - if you prefer reading, I recommend my e-book (both in German).
1-to-1 workshops
Dates don't fit, or you want to combine two workshops? Are you developing a brand or would you like to produce with plant-based dyes, but want to understand the material yourself first?
Workshops can be customized to your area of interest.
And if you are interested in a particular material or specific colors, we can focus entirely on that.
At my studio, at your place - or online.
Group workshop
A birthday present for two, a bachelorette party or an activity for your team, there is a dye workshop for almost any occasion.
I am happy to come to you with my workshop, and also cooperate with charming and centrally located venues for events.
Book 'hands-on' creative events focused on enjoying the moment and each other's company creating together, or workshops emphasising knowledge transfer and the underlying theory.
I also like to come to schools for project days or training for teachers.
