Forest Natural Tie-Dye T-Shirt Workshop
At Project M.A.R.S., we practise living with the land through Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience, and Space — learning how to grow food, care for resources, and shape our daily lives in ways that are gentle, practical, and deeply rooted in nature.
Here, slowing down is not a concept, but a way of life, guided by the rhythm of the forest around us.
In this Forest Natural Tie-Dye T-Shirt Workshop, we invite you to step into the food forest and share a meaningful moment of making with someone close to your heart. This session is designed for two people to experience together — it may be a couple, a parent and child, siblings, or any loved ones who wish to spend unhurried time side by side.
Through hands-on practice, you will discover the colours hidden in plants and learn how nature offers everything we need when we take time to observe, listen, and work with it. Using natural materials collected from the surroundings — including leaves from the forest — participants will experience the basic process of natural dyeing, from preparation to dyeing their T-shirts by hand.
Each piece carries its own unique shade, shaped by nature, time, weather, and care. No two shirts are ever the same — just like every relationship, formed through shared moments, patience, and presence.
This workshop is not about creating perfect patterns. It is about being present together, working with your hands, slowing down, and allowing simple actions — folding, tying, dyeing, waiting — to become a quiet space for connection. In the forest, colours emerge slowly, and so do conversations, laughter, and moments of togetherness.
