Indigo Workshop with Carolina Cuevas
Learn how to use indigo as a natural dye with artist-in-residence Carolina Cuevas! In this particular workshop, we will learn about two Shibori dyeing methods: Kumo and Itajime. We will use folding, tying, and binding resist techniques to create beautiful designs on fabric.
Join us to see how indigo is made and watch it magically turn from green to blue! Limited material will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own (small to medium!) textiles or clothing to dye. Natural fibers work best with the dye.
