Jump Into Indigo

Join Kaitlyn Leaf of DistrictDyes for an introduction to Indigo Dye! 

Each participant will receive a flour sack towel and the supplies needed to create beautiful patterns and designs. Learn how to make a vat of indigo dye, to fold and tie fabric to create a resist pattern for dye, and the process of dipping the fabric in indigo. Final project will be rinsed at home with provided instructions.

Supplies: Gloves and takeaway bags will be provided.Supplies provided include flour sack towel, rubber bands, sticks, string, and other items to make resist designs. Indigo vat will be communal. Please bring a white or beige garment or item that’s made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, etc.) to get some extra practice with indigo. The dye process can get a little messy, so wear something you wouldn’t mind splattering on.
