在本次亲身体验式工作坊中，您将领略中国古代的植物染色艺术！您将用诸如 丹皮（红色） 、 靛蓝（蓝色）和石榴皮（黄色）等植物染料对衣服进行染色，并探究为何天然染料相较于合成化学物质，对皮肤和环境都更为温和。

接下来，让我们来了解一下“模板印刷”这一工艺：可以使用传统的中国图案，将经典的中国图案（莲花、龙或云朵）印制在棉质衬衫上。通过多层染色来创造独特的效果，将创意与文化象征完美结合。

完善你的设计，带走一件带有定制中式图案的衬衫——这是传统与可持续理念的完美结合的实用服饰。

Discover ancient plant-based dyeing using Moutan bark (red), indigo (blue), and pomegranate peel (yellow). Learn why natural dyes are eco-friendly and skin-safe.

Try stencil printing with traditional motifs (lotus, dragons, clouds) on a cotton shirt. Layer colors for unique designs blending culture and creativity.

Take home your custom Chinese-patterned shirt—a wearable fusion of heritage and sustainability. No experience needed!

The workshop will be led by Edinburgh local artist Ye Yao.

About Chinese Culture Week

Chinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists, creators, educators, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe. First launched in 2024, CCW is designed not just as a showcase, but as a platform for meaningful cultural dialogue between China and the rest of the world. Through theatre, exhibitions, workshops, and live performances, CCW offers a rare opportunity to experience Chinese culture not as a monolith, but as a dynamic, evolving conversation.

CCW is curated and produced by the Intercultural Connections Initiative (ICI), a Scotland-registered community interest company dedicated to fostering cultural exchange through the performing arts. ICI is led by a young and international team of cultural producers, educators, and creative strategists, with roots in both East and West. Together, they bring a fresh perspective to global cultural engagement—one grounded in empathy, innovation, and long-term partnership.
