Workshop Description: Join us for a day of experimentation with Indigo dye! Blue is the rarest dye color found in nature and the blue color created from indigo plants is both deep and colorfast (meaning it won’t fade or wash out easily). As one of the hardiest natural dyes, it is a great option to use for transforming clothing or textiles that have lost their luster. Need to hide a stain? Want to update a vintage piece with some crisp geometric patterns? Look no further!
This dreamy blue plant dye has been used for centuries throughout the world, each culture with its own unique take on application and surface design. In this workshop, we’ll review the different types of indigo vats with an introduction to making your own vat at home. We’ll experiment with different clamp and tie resists to create patterns on sample fabric, followed by the opportunity for you to overdye your own clothing or textile piece.
Sliding Scale Workshop Fee: $60 - $150
Materials Fee: $15
