Patterned Resist Dyeing in Organic Indigo

For individuals who were inspired by the Basics class, as well as those with some experience who want to learn more about indigo and resist techniques on fabric, the Fundamentals class offers hands-on experience in making indigo vats “from scratch.” Students will work together to make organic indigo vats and dye in them on the second day. Recipes and procedures will be shred. This workshop will provide an opportunity to prepare more elaborate patented resists based on traditional Japanese methods. Students will leave with one or two dyed shibori fabric pieces.
