Dye plants and naturale dyeing workshops

The dye plants in the kitchen garden

Chintz making is a science in its own right, in which colours are of primary importance. One key aspect of the industry is that 18th-century colour recipes still use substances of vegetable origin, such as madder and indigo.

Linking the exhibition and the château’s historical kitchen garden, a bed of dye plants offers an opportunity to discover the main varieties that were exploited for their pigments.

Madder and indigo. Natural dyeing workshops

En lien direct avec le Centre des indiennes, les ateliers de teinture végétale sont une approche à la fois théorique et pratique du sujet. Ils offrent notamment la possibilité d’étudier et tester des techniques anciennes, avec une focalisation sur le 18e siècle.

Ces cours se destinent aux novices en la matière, comme aux plus avancés qui souhaiteraient développer la dimension historique de leurs expérimentations tinctoriales. Tous les cours développent des thématiques différentes, néanmoins il est tout à fait possible de ne s’inscrire qu’à une seule session.

Mettez-vous dans la peau d’un artisan-teinturier d’autrefois!
