Bleu de Lectoure Arts and Crafts in Lectoure

Bleu de Lectoure is an artisanal pastel blue, made in Lectoure, in the Gers.

Also called " Dyers' Pastel" or "Wad Blue", it allows you to obtain exceptional shades of blue ! Formerly very popular for dyeing textiles, this magnificent color (a sign of nobility) was also used by painters and decorators throughout Europe!

Since 1994, Bleu de Lectoure has been promoting Pastel (Isatis Tinctoria) and in particular:

• We cultivate 12 ha of pastel in organic farming which produces pigment and seeds, for the needs of the company...

• The extraction and natural production (without chemicals) of pure pigment, for use in Fine Arts, decoration, the textile and manufacturing industry...
• The manufacturing and 100% natural dyeing of a range of products ennobled by pigment (paints, cosmetics, clothing, household linen, etc.).

True artisans passionate about this unique color, we are always available to discuss and share our knowledge with you!

If you appreciate this color and would like to know more about this know-how, we invite you to discover our history and our products, by attending a detailed visit in the form of a conference (by reservation only), in our workshop-boutique in Lectoure , or by visiting our site and going to our online store.
