O4E: Indigo, Living Color

  • The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway Philadelphia, PA, 19103 United States (map)

In this dye workshop, we will explore the vibrant and ever-changing nature of indigo dyeing.

Participants will have the opportunity to dip a cotton bandana into a plant-based indigo dye vat, experiencing a visual feast as the dye oxidizes before their eyes. Fibers can be dipped several times to increase the depth of shade!

Indigo is an ancient textile dyeing technique, with a history of cultivation and dyeing from all over the world. Experience this all-natural dye technique in person with the founder of Green Matters Natural Dye Company, Winona Quigley.

Where: This will take place in the Spotlight Gallery foyer, level 1, which is near to an elevator accessible via our 19th Street side entrance.
