Name: Indigo Dye Workshop
Start: 2024-07-07T10:00:00-07:00
Location: Leach Botanical Garden

Join artist Megan Mesloh at Leach for an intro to working with one of the oldest and most beloved dye stuff - Indigo - made from the fermented leaves of the indigofera tinctoria plant.
In this workshop we will prepare an indigo dye vat and create ‘resist’ patterns on provided cotton fabric using clamps, twine, and wood blocks. The results range from bold geometric shapes to soft organic patterns on the fabric. No prior experience is necessary. This is a great space to play with natural color and pattern in one workshop.
All materials provided. Please wear an apron and/or clothes that can be stained.
