Join us to learn binding/folding resist dyeing techniques with indigo dye. You can dye fabric from our stash, or bring your own natural-fiber (cotton, wool, or silk) garments, napkins, pillowcases, etc. to dye. Indigo dyeing is a great way to give new life to stained or dingy white textiles!

Tying or clamping fabric for resist dyeing
Preparing and dyeing your garment or fabric
Finishing and setting the dye
WHAT TO BRING:
Bring your own item to dye. A shirt, skirt, dress, pillowcase, tea towel, tote bag, or set of napkins makes an ideal project. (We are unable to accommodate very large projects, such as duvet covers.)
For the best results, select a white garment/item that is made with 100% natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, linen, hemp, or silk. If you choose a natural/synthetic blend, it will result in a paler shade of blue.
