Indigo Dye Workshop

Let’s have a dye day! Dyers have been using Indigofera tinctoria to  create blue dye for centuries. We will be using a modern recipe for this  100% naturally derived fermentation indigo vat. Participants will  receive an instructional handout, a silk scarf, and a cotton swatch for  dyeing. We will also delve into Shibori resist techniques on our cloth  before dying. Additional ready-to-dye fabric will be available for  purchase.

Suggested supplies to bring: Gloves, an apron, scissors, and a plastic bag or two to take your dyed goods home in. Participants should dress for mess!

Pre-registration is strongly suggested. This class has a minimum and  maximum attendance requirement so reserve your spot today! If  participant minimum is not met two weeks prior, the workshop will be  cancelled.

Ages 10 and up.
