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 foundational shibori techniques—including stitching, binding, and clamping—to create both simple and intricate resist-dye patterns.
This workshop explores the tension at the heart of indigo: the balance between deliberate control and the unpredictable nature of the organic.
All materials—including fabric, thread, 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!
