More InformationThe place is one idyllic garden with attached workshop, showroom and the indigo basins. The later are two basins that are four meters deep and contain indigo-colored water. The power of indigo is sustainable enough to last for decades. In 20 years only little indigo had to be added along with little water. Before the cloth goes into the basin for a couple of times, the actual printing happens. It is a natural wax that is applied via various stamps, available in various patterns. Once the pattern is finished it is hanged to dry. The next step is then the dying.
The speciality is that the fabric can be stamped with different patterns. One on each side. This, by the way came in handy when the cloth was used for aprons in the old days. Indigo blue aprons were worn throughout the Alpine region and beyond every day, six days a week. Naturally they accumulated dirt and specks, so on the sevenths day, the apron was turned and the cleaner side was used for the more formal attire of the Sunday.
Today Miriam and Joseph are experimenting with slightly more modern patterns. Blaudruck has reached a cult-status in the denim trade and many stores and brands are ordering tailor made handkerchiefs and scarves. In absence of an Online shop the only way to get your hands on a piece is to actually go there. Our films show what to expect. Find Blaudruckerei Koó online at originalblaudruck.at

Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
