Explore the magic of nature-inspired design in this hands-on eco-textile workshop! Over two creative days, participants will discover how plants can be used to print, dye, and paint, crafting stunning patterns and textures from all-natural materials.

What to Expect:

Dive into techniques like natural dyeing, plant-based printing, and batik to transform textiles into beautiful creations. The workshop includes a visit to the Waste Age: What Can Design Do? exhibition for inspiration and a chance to explore MAC’s garden to gather materials for your work. Children will craft items like bunting, bags, wall hangings, or cushion covers to take home.
