Programme Synopsis This programme is co:created with Crystal Lee, a local artist who explores the use of natural dyes in her practice. Students will be introduced to the process and science behind natural dyeing, and realise that colour pigments can be extracted from natural materials readily accessible to them. Various experiential activities in this programme will combine seamlessly the exploration of science and art. Students will create artworks and products with the techniques they learn in this programme. The learning will be extended with a visit to a natural space in Singapore (e.g. Singapore Botanic Gardens’ Healing Gardens), where they will identify the plants and flowers that natural dyes can be extracted from.
