Natural Indigo Dye Shibori workshop with Melissa Patronella
Sat. March 7 | 10am-1 pm

Our indigo dyeing class is a hands-on workshop. You will learn the history of indigo dyeing, the fundamentals of creating a dye vat, and the basics of both stitched and folded/clamped Shibori techniques. We will play around with Fabric manipulation so you can create beautiful patterns on fabric with indigo dye. By the end of workshop, you will have an understanding of dying fabrics with indigo as well as a scarf and practice swatches to take home with you. The class is BYOB so come hangout, learn something new and have a great time with us at AMOC.
