Join Judy Newland for her Indigo Dyeing workshop!
From Judy: Culture and the environment are the two main topics I address in my textile art. I have been working in textiles for more than forty years as a maker and later as a textile historian. My background in textile history and museum anthropology allows me to bring a deep cultural engagement to everything I produce. I don’t just dye fabric in an indigo blue dyepot, I look in the dyepot and see world history, science, fashion, medicine, ritual and your latest pair of jeans! It’s an entire world to explore and share.
This workshop will delve into the culture and history of indigo around the world. Various techniques of indigo production, from creating a vat to producing folded, wrapped, stitched and scrunched pieces will be covered, as well as the process of preparing, dyeing and finishing the dyed pieces.
