Color Alchemy: Indigo Dye

  • Alchemy Art Center 1255 Wold Road Friday Harbor, WA, 98250 United States (map)

Learn about the magic of creating color with plants with artist Katey Rissi in this introduction to dyeing with indigo. In this class, students will learn about the history of indigo, which is a natural dye derived from plants in the indigofera family. We'll make an indigo vat together and use them to dye swatches, bandanas as well as anything students bring in that they'd like to dye blue. Preparing fabric, keeping your vat "alive," growing your own indigo, and care for your dyed textiles will also be covered.

Students will leave the class with an indigo dyed bandana and any natural fiber items they brought from home to dye.
