Experience Creative Tie-Dye Craft with a Local Artisan in Shaxi

€5.00

Blend tradition and creativity in this hands-on tie-dye workshop in the ancient town of Shaxi. Guided by a local artisan, you’ll learn the timeless Bai ethnic dyeing techniques that have been passed down through generations — from folding and tying the fabric to watching vibrant indigo patterns emerge.

What makes this experience special is the creative freedom: you can design and dye your own hat, scarf, apron, or tote bag — turning your imagination into a beautiful, wearable piece of art.
It’s a relaxing, meditative activity and a wonderful way to connect with Shaxi’s local culture. Your handmade piece will also be a meaningful souvenir to take home.

Please note: The listed price is a non-refundable reservation fee. The remaining 280 RMB can be paid directly to your guide during the experience.

Our experience usually starts at 10:00 AM local time, but if it’s just your group, we can be flexible and start at a time that works best for you!
