Indigo Resist Dyeing - fold clamp repeat

  • Sitka Center for Art & Ecology 56605 Sitka Drive Otis, OR, 97368 United States (map)

Workshop Overview

Join the Indigo Resistance! Indigo is a beautiful and complex dye with a rich and strange history. It is uniquely suited for creating patterns by cloth manipulation. In this class students will practice the basics of creating radial and linear repeating designs on cloth. Inspired by the Itajimi style Shibori of Japan, students will use folding and strategic placement of shaped clamps to create a near infinite variety of beautiful patterns. By shifting clamps multiple shades of blue can enhance the possibilities. Information on creating and maintaining a natural indigo vat will be briefly covered. Students will dye three items.
