Visit to Original Indigo Blaudruck Koó
Miriam Schwack-Koó and Joseph Koó run one of the last remaining businesses that specialize in traditional indigo block printing (Blaudruck) Blaudruckereien in Europe and are part of the AFA Network Database. They meticulously handprint fabrics following an ancient tradition, dyeing them with natural indigo. It is very important for them to anchor their craft, which has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage since 2018, in the present day. For this reason, they frequently collaborate with contemporary fashion designers and artists.
We visited them to introduce the people behind the traditional craft and to get a small insight into their work.
