About the event

Beautiful Natural Blues: Indigo and Shibori at GroWild
Discover the amazing transformations of indigo, the enchanting natural blue dye of centuries!

On Saturday, October 25, fiber artist Jan Quarles will be your guide for an exploration of indigo and basic shibori techniques at GroWild, one of the most beautiful natural settings in Middle Tennessee.

In class you’ll learn about the history of indigo as a dye and how it has been used around the world. We will use two kinds of indigo vats and you will learn how to make a small vat for home use. You’ll explore folding and clamping (itajime) and wrapping (arashi) traditional Japanese techniques and learn about other ways to make marks on natural fabrics.

Your takeaway pieces will include two scarves and you’ll have plenty of fabric for practice. The class fee of $140 includes two scarves, a yard of cotton fabric (for a bandana or cushion cover), and sampling fabrics as well as gloves, notes, a list of resources and extensive use of shibori tools. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dye on (indigo can be a messy process) and bring your lunch.

Please contact Jan Quarles at amFuMzcxMjkgfCB5YWhvbyAhIGNvbQ== with questions or to request a PayPal invoice to register for the class. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. Class will be held at: GroWild, Inc., 7190 Hill Hughes Rd., Fairview, TN 37062 615-799-1910
