Eco printing & Natural Cosmetic workshop

Through the continuing abundance of nature we can learn to incorporate the plants and flowers in our daily life. Gain back your power by using natural ingredients to create your own products and clothes.

Natural cosmetics, derived from organic ingredients, have gained prominence in recent years, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of clean beauty. These products prioritize plant-based components, avoiding harmful chemicals, and promoting sustainability. The significance of incorporating natural cosmetics into our daily routines extends beyond personal well-being. It represents a conscious decision to exercise sovereignty over our choices, aligning with ethical and environmental values. By opting for these products, individuals contribute to a healthier planet, supporting eco-friendly practices and fostering a sense of responsibility for the world we inhabit. Natural cosmetics symbolize a harmonious blend of personal care and global consciousness in our daily lives.

Throughout the ages people have cultivated knowledge and practiced the art of dyeing with natural colors. In current times, heavily influenced by the industrial revolution, we have grown used to the wide variety of easily accessible chemically produced colors. Now is the perfect time for us to reconnect to this ancient skill with a modern twist and appreciate the gifts that nature provides right before us.

Workshop Description

Join our hands-on workshop to craft personalized essentials like toothpaste, deodorant, and mouthwash. In this practical session, you'll learn simple recipes using everyday ingredients, empowering you to customize products that suit your preferences. Discover the joy of creating natural, effective solutions for your daily routine without the need for extravagant components. Our workshop focuses on simplicity and functionality, providing you with the skills to make your own personal care items at home.

Eco-printing is a natural and sustainable way of coloring fabric using various parts of the plant.
In this workshop, we’ll cover the basics of preparing fabric for dyeing, get to know the benefits and history of natural dyeing and identify plants that give color, some of which can be found right in our own garden or kitchen!
Each participant will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities, experimenting with techniques to create their unique eco-printed piece.

Workshop will be held in English.
