Discover the rich history and artistry of indigo dyeing in this hands-on workshop. We’ll begin with a brief exploration of indigo’s historical significance in Georgia, followed by an introduction to the unique properties of this remarkable natural dye and an accessible explanation of indigo vat chemistry.
Participants will have the opportunity to work with prepared indigo vats and, if available, observe fresh indigo firsthand. Using a variety of resist techniques—including clamps, woodblocks, and tie methods—you’ll create your own patterns on cotton scarves.
Each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind dyed scarf, along with detailed instructions for washing and finishing their piece at home.
