Join us at Edgemere Farm for an introduction to indigo, an ancient natural blue dye, hosted by artist/educator Madeleine Provost. We will discuss this unique alchemical dye process using our ready-made community indigo dye vats, as well as create patterns using shibori resist dyeing techniques. Participants are invited to bring their own clothing and fabrics to dye. This is a great opportunity to overdye stained garments or simply to refresh and give new life to old clothing.
Please limit to 2-3 small articles of clothing or 1-2 yards of fabric per person.
All clothing and fabric must be composed of 100% natural fibers (cotton, linen, hemp, silk, wool)
Pre-wash personal garments and fabrics with hot water prior to workshop, and dry naturally if possible.
Additional fabric materials will be available for purchase at the workshop.
