Course Description:

This two-day workshop will explore the ancient process of fabric dying with Indigo, a naturally blue, plant based-dye indigenous to many cultures in the Far East, Africa, and Central America. Indigo blue, which is the blue in the robes of many Zen monks as well as popular denim blue jeans, is prized for its stunning and vibrant blue, which does not fade easily in sunlight or in the wash. In this class, students will learn to prepare natural and chemical Indigo dye vats, and learn pattern making and mark-making techniques such as Shibori (Japanese tie-dye) and Batik (Indonesian wax resist painting). This class is appropriate for children age 6+ with supervision of a guardian.
