Tea towel stenciling with earth & plant pigments

What happens when a natural dyebath no longer produces rich colour on fabric? Instead of pouring it away, we extract the remaining pigment and transform it into fine powder, ready to be reactivated as fabric paint.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover pigments from two unique sources: mineral pigments made from earth and construction waste, and plant pigments recovered from spent dyebaths in our studio. Learn how each pigment is created before painting your own cotton tea towel using fabric paints, stencils, and repeating patterns inspired by nature. Along the way, you'll explore how everyday materials can be transformed into beautiful creative mediums through thoughtful, resourceful processes.

No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and leave with a one-of-a-kind tea towel and a fresh perspective on colour, creativity, and making the most of what we already have.

ABOUT GREEN-HOUSE

GREEN-HOUSE is Singapore's first and largest experiential sustainability festival, organised by Pass It On Studio. It began in 2022 as a pop-up in Geylang's shophouses with 3,600 visitors, and has since found a permanent home at Temasek Shophouse through a three-year partnership, drawing 19,200 visitors in 2025 and targeting more than 20,000 in 2026. Each edition pairs two aims that have deepened year on year: a lighter footprint on the climate, and a kinder, more inclusive society. What started as a weekend pop-up has become a yearly gathering point for sustainable brands, corporate partners, community groups and the public.
