Natural Dyes Workshop in Cusco

Aula is thrilled to offer our guests the opportunity to learn more about the plant dyes and traditional dyeing techniques unique to this region. Through the natural dyeing workshop, we hope our guests will leave with a true appreciation for the textile tradition and age-old techniques that make the Cusco region so special. We're proud to work with our partners at Pichinku, who have offered to open up their workshop for these intimate workshop experiences, providing a hands-on, one-on-one instruction and the chance to share in the experience with the all-female Pichinku team.

Itinerary

Join Aula and our artisan partners from Pichinku for an intimate experience of natural dyeing in the Sacred Valley of Cusco. Nestled in the small town of Lamay and set against the dramatic peaks and fertile farmland of the valley, the Pichinku workshop is dedicated to creating plant dyes using materials and techniques practiced in the Cusco region for thousands of years. You’ll spend the day with Pichinku’s all-female team of natural dye experts, learning from the masters about the local dye plants, foraging for your materials, processing them according to traditional local practices and creating a range of all-natural, vibrant dyes.
