Marjorie Ughetto takes you on a journey to discover the natural pigments at the origin of colors and dyes.

Vibrant Colors with Plants!

Dye plants, used since antiquity, produce dyes with rich and long-lasting hues. In Provence, they have long been used to color fabrics, wool, and leather, offering unique shades derived from local flora.
In the Massif des Maures, numerous species still reveal a beautiful natural palette today.
This presentation invites you to rediscover this forgotten heritage, at the crossroads of botany, history, and ancestral know-how. Marjorie Ughetto, a naturalist, will lead you on a lively journey blending botanical discoveries, historical narratives, and traditional techniques. Through demonstrations she performs with her harvests of wild and cultivated plants, immerse yourself in the fascinating world of natural pigments!
