Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of indigo dyeing in this hands-on workshop, where participants will gain a basic understanding of the chemistry behind indigo reduction and dyeing.

Learn to prepare a vat and explore the vast range of colours achievable when working with both raw and pre-dyed fabrics, using simple resist techniques with common household items as well as more traditional blocks and clamps. This workshop highlights the tension at the heart of indigo: the balance between deliberate control and the unpredictable nature of the organic.

All materials—including fabric, tools, and dye—will be provided. Due to the structure and timing of the workshop, we’re unable to accommodate personal projects or fabrics brought from home. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to experiment!
