Taipei? Three Gorges Dyeing House Experience Antique Blue Dyeing Style

Learning while doing is the best way for children to learn effectively. Visiting the Three Gorges Dyeing House, even children can give full play to their creativity and dye a unique and beautiful blue cloth.

After the renovation of the Three Gorges Old Street, it seems to be reborn, and it has become one of the favorite attractions for Chinese and foreign tourists to experience the old street style. It is the most complete existing old street in Taiwan Province Province, with nearly 100 street houses. It can be seen that the floor tiles, ditch covers and signboards all adopt the local elements of the Three Gorges. Golden croissants, which have only become famous in recent years, look more delicious with ancient signs.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Three Gorges was rich in tea and indigo because of its convenient water transportation. Quan Min Street was the first street in the Three Gorges at that time and the only dyehouse street in the north of Taiwan Province Province. At that time, it was sold in Shi Wen and Urumqi (retail and wholesale) and exported to Chinese mainland. The facade of the storefront building is luxuriously decorated, and you can enjoy their gable, parapet, stigma and other decorative patterns when you visit the old street.

In order to reproduce the style of blue dyeing in the local industry of the Three Gorges, the "Triangle Chung Culture Association" was established to revive the blue dyeing technology, from the collection of raw materials to the completion of production. And set up the Three Gorges Dyeing Workshop, which is served by a volunteer team, so that visitors can experience the fun of dyeing blue personally. Even children can use their creativity to dye a unique and beautiful blue cloth.

Hand dyed square towel DIY

Hand-dyed kerchief is the most popular experience. You can choose a small square towel of 45x45 or a large square towel of 60x60, which can be used as a headscarf or scarf. The teacher will teach the essentials of folding cloth and then tie it with cotton thread or rubber band. More complicated ones will be covered with props such as bamboo boards, chopsticks or acrylic chopping boards. These are all ways to create pattern effects, and there are many model books hanging on the classroom wall for reference. After soaking in the dye solution, that is, in the dye vat for three times, it is time for the lucky draw-open the rubber band and the pattern will appear! Make sure no one is as creative as you, and you don't have to write your name.
