In 2006 ADEPT, with other organizers, tried to revive the use of dye plants, and also to give an opportunity to Transylvanian artists to diversify and add value to their products by using naturally dyed wool. This was a way to make use of local resources - wool, and wild dye-plant species in the area. The products were thus closely linked with the biodiversity of the Târnava Mare area.

The project also had an educational component, as it included children, after the model of other traditional occupations (pottery, weaving, wood carving) which were taught in several villages in Romania in crafts workshops or at craft schools.

One result from the experimental camp was a brochure explaining, in English and Romanian, the virtues of using natural dyes, and identifying some local plants and their uses, which was of interest both to visitors and local people.

This activity was called şezătoare cu fierturi, from şezătoare: gathering of women, from late autumn until early spring, doing various traditional occupations in the evening (spinning, weaving, etc. while singing or story telling), and fierturi: boiled things.
