Class Description

Description

There are many ways to create an organic real indigo vat and it can be a little tricky, but the main barrier is confidence. If you're interested in a particular method, let me know! I'll show you how to create a fructose and an iron vat in two different ways.  We'll even make our own fructose on the side! I love to dive into the historical significance of indigo in other cultures, and will also talk a lot about it's very beginnings, how it moved into industry, how important it is in many cultures, and why it has a bit of a dark past.

A few resist techniques are shown, including shibori, tie binding and wax resist (batik).
