Indigo Dyeing Fabric and Threads

Tutor; Sandra Coleridge

Experience the vibrant and exciting colours of
indigo, on fabrics and yarns. Historically Important natural dyeing method, where repeated dipping and exposure to light strengthens the intensity of colour, with beautiful results.

after a morning of preparation using shibori and paste resist techniques, it was time to test the dye vats!

the results were wonderful, there were gasps and squeals of excitement all day long as the different cloths emerged green from the vat and then took on beautiful indigo hues!

Thank you Sandra for a lovely day!
