About the event

Materials Lab Workshop: Indigo Textiles and Dyeing
Indigo—a plant, a dye, a color—forever changed human history. Since antiquity, people have cultivated indigo for the purposes of adding color to their lives and the material culture objects that fill it. Popularized as a colorant, indigo-dyed products, prepared indigo dye ingredients, and eventually the plant itself circulated through longstanding maritime and land-based trade routes that connected people around the world.

Come dive into the world of indigo with Victoria Andrews, a Harvard graduate student in South Asian and Buddhist art, and learn through your hands. In the workshop, you will work with traditional pattern-making techniques—woodblock prints with wax resist—and indigo dye cotton textiles to create your own patterned blue textile to take home with you.

The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on the Lower Level.

$15 workshop fee. Registration is required and space is limited; registration will open on this form, beginning on Wednesday, January 14, at 10am. Workshop fee must be paid to confirm registration. Minimum age of 14; no previous experience required.
