Natural Dyeing with Herbal Tea Tasting | CRIATURA X AMARÁ

In this workshop, you will explore the full potential of plants by identifying various species and their properties, and you will better understand how we formulate the various combinations of Criatura herbal teas, made with organic plants and fruit from small Portuguese producers.

In collaboration with Amará Natural Dyeing, we also introduce the universe of colour through natural dyeing and botanical printing.

Each participant will create and print their own cotton tote bag, exploring leaves, flowers, and other natural elements with dyeing potential.

During the process, there will be a moment of herbal tea tasting and sharing, while the print sets on the fabric.

At the end, each person will take home a unique piece, created from nature.
