About this Event
In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the captivating process of Japanese indigo resist dyeing methods, utilizing tools like blocks, clamps, string, and clothes pegs to create intricate patterns on fabric.
We'll supply small fabric pieces for creating samples. We kindly ask participants to bring their own pre-washed 100% natural material for dyeing. Cotton is the most ideal. This presents an excellent opportunity to reimagine and up-cycle items with the beautiful blue of Indigo. To ensure sufficient space in the dye vat for everyone, please refrain from bringing large & bulky items(maximum 1 metre of fabric). Prepare to gain a foundational understanding of the dyeing process and craft exquisite hand-dyed pieces to cherish.
Under Naomi’s guidance, anticipate an event brimming with alchemy, experimentation, and joyful creativity.
Materials to Bring: Pre-washed 100% natural materials for dyeing(maximum 1 metre of fabric). Ensure all items undergo pre-washing with a gentle detergent to remove any chemicals that may interfere with the dyeing process. Dress in workshop-ready attire, and if available, bring an apron to protect your clothing.
IMPORTANT
Blank dye-able items such as cotton shawls, silk scarves, and bamboo socks are available for pre-purchase. Please inquire to the instructor at ( [email protected] ) before the workshop.
