Natural Dyeing: Indigo Blue
This event has passed.
Why use artificial dyes for indigo blue tones when there's a non-toxic natural alternative? Learn about the vibrancy and range of blue dyes that can be achieved with the indigo plant at Oolite Arts' Natural Dyeing: Indigo Blue workshop on Saturday, October 21. Led by Diana Eusebio, this comprehensive workshop covers the history and contemporary uses of Indigo. Participants will learn how to extract dye from the plant, explore tie-dyeing, and create a unique dyed piece to take home.
This series of classes is designed to promote the continuation of uncolonized Pre-Columbian traditions from Black and Indigenous communities in South Florida and Latin America, while making a space for contemporary exploration. All materials for sample making and technique instruction are included. Any additional materials will need to be supplied by the student based on their vision.
