Natural Textile Dyeing Workshops – January 17-18, 2025

A series of two workshops were held by expert Irina Petroviciu at Anca Poterașu Gallery. The first one served as a theoretical introduction, where Irina brought the attendees an upcoming book on the topic and wrapped the workshop with a quick demonstration of dyeing with turmeric and berries. The second workshop further developed the topics discussed in the first, adding new dyeing techniques and additional pigments for a variety of colours and textures.
