About the event

*JULY 16th workshop is cancelled due to illness and will be rescheduled ASAP*

This is a great introduction to natural dye because unlike other natural dyes, you don't need to mordant the fiber (prep the fiber for dyeing) as the indigo attaches to natural fibers very easy! This means you can bring 1 to 2 small items to the workshop to give your item new life! (Please no large blankets or towels as they will take up to much room for everyone else please ;) )

Lighter colored cloth will give you a better contrast for the resist pattern, or you can just dip it for an allover color or graduated ombre, but ANY color is acceptable. Natural fibers like cotton, hemp, bamboo, silk, wool, etc are best for this dye process. Synthetic fibers will not readily take the dye. We will be exploring different resist techniques utilizing tying, folding, clamping, and more to get interesting patterns on the fabric.

Bring your imagination and leave behind any self-doubt or reservation because no matter what you do, your fabric will look so cool and you will have a blast doing it! This workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone curious about natural dyeing. No experience necessary. I do recommend wearing things you don't mind a few blue drips, just in case.
