It’s fast, it’s magical and it’s everyone’s favorite blue. Learn about indigo and explore various Shibori resist methods. When you’re ready to dye you will see the wonder of indigo as your creation emerges from the dye bath colored green and turn blue before your eyes. We’ll create an organic fructose indigo vat but it will probably not be ready to dye with in time so we’ll also create a synthetic indigo vat to use doing the class.
