Into The Blue - Indigo and Shibori Workshop

Discover the art of indigo dyeing and shibori! Learn the basics of natural indigo, explore traditional folding and binding techniques, and create your own unique patterns on a cotton bandana and T-shirt. You'll dip, unwrap, and watch your designs transform into beautiful shades of blue!

Step into the beautiful world of indigo and discover the art of creating patterns with cloth, folds, and ties!

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about natural indigo, how an indigo vat works, and the fascinating process that allows fabric to transform into shades of blue. We'll explore several beginner-friendly shibori techniques, learning how simple folds, wraps, and bindings can create beautiful patterns and designs on fabric.

You'll have the opportunity to experiment with your own designs on two textiles: a cotton bandana and a T-shirt. Once your pieces are ready, you'll dip them into the prepared indigo vat yourself, unwrap your creations, and watch the magic of oxidation as the fabric develops its beautiful blue color.

After oxidizing, we'll rinse our textiles and reveal the finished designs!

No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity and creativity! ꕤ
