stitch, tie and bind fabric, then dye blue using an indigo vat

Prepare and dye fabric in an indigo dye vat, using varied tying, stiching and folding techniques to make attractive patterns, including Japanese shibori. We will tie and dye a series of indigo samples and then you will be assisted with designing your own combination of patterns on a tote bag, scarf, or piece of fabric which could be used in another project. You take home both the sample pieces and the item you have tied and dyed.

All materials and equipment will be provided. Wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy, or bring an apron. You may also like to bring your own small garment, like a t-shirt, a similar size piece of fabric or some yarn to tie and dye in the indigo vat.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and the number of participants is limited to 10.

An accompanied child free, for 7-18yrs, see ticket options to apply.

Refreshments will be provided, please bring your own lunch.
