Indigo Dye Techniques

$60/3 hours

Ages 5+ (under 10 should have an adult to help)

Learn the fascinating art of indigo dyeing! In this workshop, we'll explore indigo from many angles. What is indigo? It's an ancient dyeing technique that typically involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo. Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye.

One t-shirt is included in the class fee. You are welcome to bring in prewashed cotton items to dip in the vat. Limit 2-3 depending on size.
