Indigo Resist Fabric Dyeing Workshop

Get ready to go blue!

Immerse yourself in the magic of indigo and the traditional Japanese art of Shibori, a resist-dyeing technique that uses folding, twisting, and binding to create intricate, one-of-a-kind patterns on fabric. Think of it as sophisticated tie-dye using a unique plant-based, rich blue dye.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to prepare your materials and set up the dye vat using indigo, then explore a variety of Shibori techniques as you dye your fabric. Watching your designs emerge—each unique and full of character—is one of the most rewarding parts of the process.

You’ll receive a 28” cotton tea towel and a large canvas tote bag to dye, with additional items like zipper pouches, pillow covers, and more available for purchase. You’re welcome to bring one small natural-fiber item of your own (cotton, silk, or rayon only; no large pieces like bed sheets or yardage).

There could be some drips, so wearing clothes/shoes that you wouldn’t mind getting stained is encouraged!
