Re-dye items from your wardrobe with plant-based dye to repurpose them into your new favorite wearable. Learn how green leaves of indigo plants have been used for thousands of years to make the most beautiful blue dye and assist in making an organic indigo vat from powdered indigo leaves. Bring two natural fiber t-shirts or button down shirts to dye (cotton, linen, silk, wool, or rayon will all work with indigo, no synthetic fibers).
Day 1:Learn about indigo, mix the vats, prepare fabrics for dyeing, and dye the fabrics. (Lunch break with light snacks provided)
Day 2: Finish dyeing and learn the rinsing and finishing process for dyeing fabrics with indigo.
Free to attendees, supplied provided, you bring two articles to dye. Space is limited to 15, pre-registration is required. For aged 18+
