Upcycle with Indigo! – August 23

Instructor: Carol Reed

Skill Level: Beginner

Bring your clothing or napkins that needs a boost to this workshop and turn everything blue! The perfect chance to up-cycle or create something new. The instructor will lead you through creating a synthetic indigo vat and provide tools to create resist patterns on your clothes. Each participant can dye the equivalent of 5 large t-shirts, bearing in mind the textiles must fit in the vat, which will be in a 5-gallon bucket. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, wool and silk work best with indigo. Once everyone’s had a turn you can keep dying until the vat ends. Please bring plastic bags along with your clothed so you can take home your wet items. All items to be dyed must be brought by the students

Please wear old clothes.

All materials are included in the tuition. This class is appropriate for teens to adults.
