My name is Joël Dages, and I'm the founder of the Busquet farm, an ecological farming association in Naros in the Landes region. It's a really multi-disciplinary place based around ecological crops. There's a small plot of 2,500 or 3,000 m2 dedicated to organic flowers, i.e. cut flowers that are then delivered in bouquets to restaurants, hotels and a few private individuals.
As well as farming, I'm also a dyer. I work a lot with natural dyes using pigments and flowers, in short, all natural things. I develop a lot of volumes with textiles, fabrics that I shape and that are dyed each time with these natural dyes.
Alongside all this, I run dyeing workshops. Days when I offer a natural dyeing activity. The aim is to show how pigment is transformed into a dye bath and how textiles can be dyed afterwards.
