Course Detail: IDY1 - Indigo Dyeing

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. You will be provided with small cotton pieces to dye. You are encouraged to bring in washed cotton things... Think shirts... Towels... Pillow cases. Ages 10+ welcome.
