Atelier L'écharpe d'Iris

L'écharpe d'Iris is a plant-based textile dyeing workshop created and run by Dorothée Elwart.
The workshop is both a place of creation and a place of transmission. Courses and workshops for the general public are scheduled throughout the year.
Dorothée is a plant dyer and founder of L'écharpe d'Iris, an 80 m2 dyeing workshop set up in the garden of the old Rioux-Martin presbytery, right next to the church.

A historian and Egyptologist with a passion for rituals, nature, the senses and colours, Dorothée likes to work from a sensory anthropology perspective, exploring plant colours through the senses and perceptions.

In this way, Dorothée makes a colourful contribution to our world's quest for a more sensitive and sacred relationship with nature.
She divides her time between creation, research and teaching.
