Join me in Chattanooga at Townsend Atelier for a day of dyeing with indigo!

Registration can be found here.

In this day-long workshop, I will guide participants through a variety of resist techniques using the indigo vat. We’ll explore twist resist, shape resist, and other manual resist shibori techniques before moving on to making a clay paste resist to create painterly patterns or intricate stencil/stamp work. Students will leave with an understanding of how to use an indigo vat and how to create a variety of unique, intricate patterns on fabrics.  The instructor will provide a yard of fabric per student for experimentation, but participants should bring their own goods to dye.

What to bring:
Goods from home should be made from natural fibers, and cellulose (cotton, linen) accepts color best. Pre-wash all fabric in hot water before the workshop. Participants should wear old clothing that can be stained, including shoes, or bring an apron. Bring a pair of rubber gloves with high sleeves, like dishwashing gloves.
