Exploring Indigo Dye

From creating an indigo vat to making different patterns through clamp and pole resist techniques, you'll learn the art of shibori and beauty of indigo. Students will learn a range of shibori dye resist processes in this hands-on, creative workshop, including tegumo (spiderweb), ori nui (stitched), and itajime (clamped) shibori methods. There will be prepared dye vats but Lisa will also demonstrate dye vat preparation so you can continue experimenting at home.

Limited to 6 students (16 yrs of age or older); 2 students are required for class to meet. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will receive a full refund.
