OVERVIEW
6D5N Natural Dyes Of Asia Retreat
Date: 8 - 13 June 2026
Discover the art and science of natural dyeing on an enriching retreat set in the tranquil surroundings of Sukasantai Farmstay, an organic farm-resort in Sukabumi, West Java. This all-inclusive experience (excluding flights and optional add-ons) offers an inviting introduction to natural dye plants of Asia.
Through artist-led sessions, you’ll learn fibre preparation, mordanting, and dye extraction, and start your own “Dye Atlas” with more than 48 colours! Experience indigo dyeing to achieve beautiful blues, experiment with lake pigments, and express your creativity by painting your own mudcloth, all in our alfresco dye studio surrounded by peaceful greenery.
Be inspired in special workshops led by guest artists on Eco-printing, and Painting on Textiles with Sukabumi Earth Pigments. You’ll enjoy home-cooked fresh, farm-to-table meals daily, and take part in farm activities such as vegetable harvesting, cow milking, bamboo forest treks and take a visit to an essential oils distillery, and cozy bonfire gatherings.
