Indigo Dyeing
July 19 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Come join us for a day of dyeing in our big vat of indigo.
This is a community event where we can mess around with Indigo plant dye which is a 6,000 year old process. It’s a cool way to relax / make art / meet other great folks. We’ll be tying, folding and clamping with anything from bolts out of our hardware drawer to blocks, sticks, rocks and things that fall in the forest. We can experiment with some traditional resists like Shibori (where you sew the fabric before dipping), paste resists, even elmers glue!
Bring white things to dye – tee shirts, napkins, bandanas. Dyeing larger items is possible but depends on the state of the vat and the number of people. We have been working with a ferrous vat so wool and silk are not a good choice nor are synthetics. Cotton, linen, hemp, and rayon do very well.
We would appreciate donations that will help us cover our costs .
