Natural Dye and Natural Fabric DIY Workshop

施惟中 Weichung Shih

Description:

This workshop by Weichung Shih invites participants to explore natural dyes and textile creation. It introduces yarn and fiber production, from banana fibers to linen and silk, tracing material transformations grounded in ecological knowledge. In a hands-on component, participants create their own piece using natural dyes from organic sources, working with a personal garment they bring to transform while reflecting on the relationship between material, environment, and making.

本場由施唯中主持的工作坊邀請參與者共同探索天然染色與織品創作。活動將介紹紗線與纖維的生產(從香蕉纖維、亞麻到絲綢),追溯紮根於生態知識的材料轉化歷程。在動手創作的環節中,參與者將利用源自有機物質的天然染料來創作自己的作品;透過對自己帶來的私人物件或衣物進行改造,藉此反思材料、環境與身體製造之間的關係。
