THIS WEEK: Natural Indigo dye Shibori workshop with Melissa Patronella
Friday October 18th | 6:30pm – 9:30pm
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.
