Indigo Tie Dye

Join us for an afternoon of tie-dying with indigo! We will take inspiration from traditional Japanese Shibori dying techniques and patterns. Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique using folding, stitching, twisting, or bunching cloth and binding. Items are then submerged in a blue indigo dye bath. This technique creates unique patterns in the bold blue of indigo.

 Please bring 2 - 4  pre-washed 100% cotton or natural fiber items. Items to dye must be prewashed and 100% cotton, white or light colored. Please prewash items to remove factory sizing from the fabric, this will allow the dye to adhere to the fabric. Ideal items include button-down shirts, t-shirts, tanks, leggings, white jeans, tote bags, dish towels, pillowcases, and sheets. Old or stained items will also work as the dye will cover any stains on the fabric. A selection of cotton tote bags, pencil cases, pillowcases, and bandanas are available to purchase at the Craft Shop supply store.
