Indigo Dye + Shibori Techniques Workshop

Students will be required to wear masks and social distancing will be in effect to create a safe space for all artists.

Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years to dye fabric blue. We will learn about how Indigo pigment is different from all other natural dyes, the proper way to prepare and use it to dye fabric. You will learn the Japanese art of Shibori, which is a classic way of making patterns by folding, tying, clamping and sewing fabric. Materials will be provided, however, feel free to bring one piece of clothing to dye.
