Indigo dyeing was brought to our lands from the Far East. Today, it is a rare traditional craft. It evokes folk culture and can only be seen in two places in Czechia.

The indigo dyeing workshop in Strážnice in Moravian Slovakia is one of the last in Czechia that meets the conditions and can produce blueprints. It was founded by the Joch family in 1906, and now, amongst the bolts of fabric, litres of indigo paint and special moulds, you’ll be welcomed by the fifth generation to have devoted so much love to this beautiful craft.​

During the tour, they’ll show you the production process and you’ll be able to print your own design and leave with a unique canvas that will become the highlight of your wardrobe.​

You can try printing using old moulds, as well as screen-printing or brush painting.​

The traditional indigo dyeing technology was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2018, and the second place where you can admire the master dyers is the Danzinger family workshop in Olešnice. ​
