Experience the excitement of dyeing indigo patterns over color. Results can range from dramatic to subtle, with a bonus when the interaction of indigo and fiber-reactive dyes creates interesting haloes of color. The class will include instructions on mixing fiber-reactive colors and using an indigo vat and various Shibori techniques. There will be lots of time to create beautiful, unique fabrics as students team up to create solid colors that everyone can overdye in indigo shibori patterns.
While it is NOT required, students are encouraged to come up with a project in mind, such as a wall hanging, quilt, garment, or other textile.
No experience is necessary; experienced dyers are welcome.
