On the first day (June 22nd) dive into the mesmerizing art of indigo dyeing. Learn the fascinating history behind this ancient dye as you discover the techniques for creating beautiful shades of blue. Experienced instructor Jaime Holub will guide you through the process, from preparing the indigo vat to achieving stunning patterns on fabric.
The second day (June 23rd) brings a different approach to dyeing with bundle dyeing and mordant painting. Explore the natural world as a source of color as you experiment with botanical materials to create unique patterns and designs. Discover how mordants can enhance and fix colors, adding depth and permanence to your creations.
