The seemingly mysterious dye, INDIGO, used throughout the world but famous for its special development in Japan, dyes BLUE —- from light to darkest of navy blues. When combined with the Japanese technique of SHIBORI (stitch resist), the two create delightful patterning on natural fabrics (cotton, linen, rayon). Further combined with already colored fabric, multiple colors can be achieved. Students will learn about the history and use of indigo around the world, as well as how to design with shibori resists, while stitching their fabric. Fabric, yarn, and small pieces of clothing (shirts/blouses, thin fabric dresses, small jackets, scarves) can be dyed. A complete supply list will be sent upon registration. Materials fee: $3
