Name

Indigo, The Magical Blue

Description

Indigo is a natural blue dye unlike most others. A dye that doesn’t require heat or a mordant is called a ‘vat dye,’ and indigo is the most famous of them all. Come learn this method of dyeing blue, one of complex chemical reactions involving the very air itself.​

 

We will learn the basics of indigo dyeing, including how to set up and maintain a basic hydrogen hydrosulfite/lye indigo dye pot. We will work together to set up indigo pots and dye fabric using a Japanese shibori technique of stitching to form resist patterns. ​
