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.
