Explore the wonders of Indigo dyeing and resist techniques for design elements during this workshop at The Studio at Simple Hill Farm! During this workshop we will build an indigo vat, apply shape resist and Shibori stitch resist techniques to an organic cotton napkin and cotton tote bag before dyeing in the indigo vat. Indigo is a unique plant dye that requires a whole different process than other plant dyes. By the end of the retreat, you will have a better understanding of the chemistry of an indigo vat, a recipe to build your own vat, plus a cloth napkin and cotton tote bag beautifully dyed indigo blue with a nice white pattern!
