Dive into the world of indigo and explore traditional resist techniques with Felise Gutierrez. Revered for its striking blue hue, indigo carries a rich global history, with traditions developed across Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe. Participants will learn the many details of how to work with this ancient dye material to extract the richest tones and create gracefully dyed items.

In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll experiment with a resist technique, while learning the history and chemistry of indigo, and how to prepare and maintain a living indigo vat.

Each participant is invited to bring 3-4 items made of 100% natural fibers (cotton, linen, rayon, hemp, wool, or silk) to dye. This is a chance to upcycle well-loved garments or thrifted finds, while creatively and joyfully “resisting” a culture of consumption. Participants who do not bring items to dye will be offered either napkins (or bandanas (set of 4) for dyeing at no extra cost. Thrifted cotton T-shirts will be available for a small fee; additionally, the shop has other dyeable items for purchase.
