In the afternoon, a Tie-Dyeing workshop will be held in a Bai style old courtyard house located near Dali. Traditional Bai techniques and different plants are used to naturally dye the products, this includes harvesting the plants such as indigo, gardenia and saffron. Next the plants are processed using traditional methods. A pattern and design template is curated, printed on material and then manually embroidered by hand. The material is then soaked, purified with soymilk and dyed using the colors extracted from the plants. There is a wide variety of items available to tie-dye during the workshop some of which include: place mats, tote bags, scarfs, aprons, t-shirts and much more!
You will take home your very own tie-dyed product(s) as a memento of the once-in-a-lifetime experience!
