From the preparation of the fabric to the meticulous selection of flowers grown in Kokopelli's gardens, to the creation of your own kakemono to hang, this art that respects nature and humanity will hold no secrets for you. The plant-printing workshop takes place all day long, so don't forget to bring a picnic!

The arts are her basic training: drawings, photomontages, installations, live shows. Passing on knowledge stimulates her: she was an art teacher, then an artist-in-residence in schools, and is currently a workshop leader for plant-based paints and natural dyes. In order to get closer to her first aspirations, which are close to ecology, crafts and living things, she perfected her skills in natural dyeing: self-taught and by following training courses. In 2015, she was trained at the Jardin Conservatoire des Plantes Tinctoriales in Lauris, Luberon, by Lise Camoin and Michel Garcia, world-renowned experts in the field of natural dyeing.
