We are so excited to partner with Freeman’s Creative in Durham, once again, to offer this indigo dye workshop! In this class, you will focus on learning the fundamentals of best practices, materials needed, and demonstrations on how to create surface designs through ancient Japanese technique of Itajime Shibori, a shaped-resist technique. Traditionally, the cloth is sandwiched between two pieces of wood, which are held in place with string/rubber bands.  This is an ancient Japanese tie dye technique.

Supplies Needed:

• Tools, indigo dye, and sample fabric will be provided for this class

• Students are encouraged to bring 2-4 items, natural cellulose fibers: cotton, linen, and rayon, to dye/upcycle.

• River has created some Indigo Dye Kits that will be available to purchase at Craft Habit, so you can make more projects at home!
